THE LIKENESS OF THE MIND AND HEART (From the heart to the mind)

We both have our own back stories
We both have our own prejudice
We both feel like damaged goods
We both have our own baggages

We both have our life's lessons
We both have felt hurt and pain
We both have some likeness
We both have our loss and gain

But life has taught us different things
Where you went numb, I cared too much
You play along with barren words
I hold mine back with a comic touch

We've got so used to looming clouds
That we're blinded towards clear blue skies
We often ignore what's best for us
Even when it's stares into our jaundiced eyes

I'm not saying I do it all right
Or that you any way are in the wrong
We both just have our different sins
We both still want to play along

You have your own reasons to stay
And I have mine to hold on tight
Both dwelling in this make belief
Unfazed by what's wrong or right

Our journey starts and it goes on
Not knowing if or when there'll be an end
With fibs and tales and exaggerations
Thus we continue to pretend...

Dead Inside (if only)

Nothing i do seems right
Is this even worth the fight
Jumbled laws I must abide
Its best I'm dead inside

No I am not blue
Your Colors have no damn clue
The world has turned grey scale
All efforts are doomed to fail
This seems a fruitless ride
Its best I'm dead inside

I look but can not see
This "truth" you preach to me
How my wrong becomes your right
My expression becomes your plight
Always on the wrong side
Its best I'm dead inside

You feel I am a fool
For not following your rule
You hug me kiss me then cut me down
Then you say that I'm the clown?
If I have to see the world through your site
It's best I'm dead inside

Didn't know I meant to be rude
My fault, it stared a feud
My words are now on mute
And I pledge to follow suit
I bow before your pride
Its best I'm dead inside
