Between the cheats, I found your honesty
Despite my impatience, we arrived late
We ran into a nightmare coated in cream
Balancing on a narrow beam you screamed

 

You smiled holding onto humanity
As terrified as it made me I grinned
Filthy monsters they snarled at us today
You never understood their intentions

 

We change the pace but always end the same
We rotate our routine but end the same
We rearranged the colors but they remain
I explained the reason but you refused

 

Everything you saw remained the same
You knew we were the caged ones shackled and bound

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
