Am I



Am I real
Or is just youths' zeal
I want to tear every fake front I have
With every face I peel
I get to feel
How good I'm in being fake
On myself I have obly one take
Caring about others while you break
Sacrificing your soul for others sake
You're not the mercy you're the Blake
You taint every soul
You're not the rain but you're the down fall
You're not the mercy of the heavens
You're the ending horn
Signaling the ending being born
You're a soul that was badly torn
You see that shore
That's nkt heaven That's hell
The place where you fall like you always fell
Ringing the peeling bell
Another face for today
What shouI choose
The dreamy one
Or the addict to positivity booz
Or the one who is old fashioned
Or the loose
Or should we be the vulnerable and the weak
Should we act like we reached the peak
Too many thoughts in one mind
Too many perspectives that you became semi blind
So which face will you use to hide
The ugly truth
I discovered many clues
You use faces to hide
That you're dead
That you walk aimlessly because you chose to be blind
You're too afraid to love
To afraid to find
That you actually can't
So you want to remain unloved
You don't want to lose another beloved
You're such a coward
You used your scenarios as rain as you showered
Mixed fantasy with reality
Fell too deep to your vanity
Wishing to truly lose your sanity
I'm also one of the faces
The smart one that analyze all cases
That want to disappear like the others
I bother
But you don't
So just choose any front
I already expect the end
If you don't stop
You wilk only grind
Your soul will become dust
Risking is no choice it's a must
Just try again
Just trust
Even if another bubble burst
Just try
One day we will reach
The star the belongs to us
In this dark sky
Just go
We're too many we can risk another blow
Let our faces rest in peace
Knowing at least
We were sacrificed for a good reason
For you to break the loop you created
To reach the happy ending
That was always fated
Promise me to try
I'm the smart
So don't try to deceive
I'm not the naive
Do you remember him
His sacrifice was the one that pushed you over the brim
That created the grim
How can you face him
He sacrificed for you to understand
That there're two sides
There's the peaceful one and also the one with tides
So try
For him to be able to rest in peace
For you to be able to meet him with a smile
In the distant sky.
