Slaves

Are we all really slaves?
But to who?
Did we do to this ourselves?

It's so hard even to get out of our comfort zone
We are all neatly placed inside our boxes
Not even making space for any unknown

We are all tied up to a rope
Blaming it on life
Walking like zombies with no hope

Making fate our destiny
Afraid to change our path
As if this will maintain our sanity

Rejecting new directions
Afraid to fail
Denying our hearts selections

Attached to our past
And living it in the present
While life is running fast

Convincing ourselves that our box is great
And making it more cozy
By sharing it with a mate

It seems we are lab rats in a cage
Happy with food and water
Never wanting to turn the page

Past, Present, Future

I Am Only Human I

I am only human I. Chilled to the bone, I. Ghost along in this world, I. Sing my own song, I. Wonder if anyone, I. Love will remember I. When I am gone, I. Try to be good, I. Try to work hard, I.

Its ironic how we always tell ourselves that we are understanding, yet we condem that which goes against our beliefs and morals.

Hello again and today is Tuesday, January 22, 2013. If you say that you've never been a hypocrite, then you're not only wrong but also being a hypocrite by saying it.

Time

Do ever wish you could see your past and your future Just change the clock and see what's ahead Or go back and see the once loved that are now dead. Give a relative their last hug.

Should I Take Risks?

I'll teeter on the precipice, Worried to go faster, So much fog and ice ahead, I'm scared that I can't master. I'll stay here on the very edge, Take risks.
