LIFE
WHY WERE WE HALF PEOPLE
WHEN OUR LIVES HAD JUST BEGAN?
WHY COULDN'T WE BE WHOLE PEOPLE
WHO'D JUST BE FINE ALONE?
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BE A HALF?
SO HARD TO FIND A WHOLE?
PERHAPS I'LL FIND THE ANSWER
AS TO WHY WE ARE LONELY NOT ALONE.
WE WANDER ROUND IN PATHS OF DARKNESS
AND AT TIMES WE SEE THE LIGHTS
OF THOSE WE'VE LEARNED TO CALL OUR FRIENDS
BUT SOON WE'RE BACK IN NIGHT.
AND THERE WE SEE OUR PAST MISTAKES
WHEN WE CRITICIZED AND HARMED
THE PEOPLE WHO WE SHOULD OF HELPED,
THOSE STRANGERS THAT WE HAVE WRONGED.
I KNOW I CAN NOT TAKE BACK THE THINGS I'VE SAID WHILE BLIND TO WHAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS FEELING,
BUT MAYBE I CAN TRY TO SOMEHOW LEARN
AND GROW FROM ALL MY IGNORANCE,
AND MAYBE I CAN FIND A WAY
THAT I WONT GIVE OFFENCE.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN MY FEELINGS
THEY ARE FROM A SOURCE UNKNOWN
I KNOW I CAN NOT TRUST THEM
BECAUSE SO OFT WHEN SHOWN.
THEY'RE A MEET WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT
A THING I CAN'T EXPLAIN
A THING BOTH LOUD AND DISSONANT
BUT HOW CAN I COMPLAIN?
I'M THE ONE UNPREPARED TO FACE
THE REALITY OF ANOTHER VIEW;
IT ALL SEEMS FINE FROM I,
BUT I NEVER GRASP THE YOU.
I WONDER WHEN I MIGHT FIND THE RIGHT
SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW?
YOU SEE MY LIFE IS SO CROWDED;
I AM LONELY, NOT ALONE!
IN ALMOST EVERY CASE
ONE HALF PLUS ONE HALF
EQUALS TWO HALVES NOT ONE.
EACH HALF IS ONLY HALF AWARE
OF THE OTHER HALF IN LOVE.
SO I GUESS IT'S GOOD I'M HALF A PERSON
SO THAT I NEED TO LEARN AND GROW
FROM ALL MY PAST MISTAKES AND SELFISHNESS
SO THAT ONE DAY I MIGHT KNOW.
WHERE I AM TODAY
I'D MAKE A POOR WHOLE PERSON.
PERHAPS I'M HALF TO PREPARE
TO REACH A COMPREHENSION
OF WHO I AM AND WHERE I AM GOING,
OF WHO, AND WHAT, AND NEVER
OF WHY AND HOW LIFE SHOES ME
WHEN TO GET IT TOGETHER.
PLEASE, I'M SORRY, THANKS, YOU'RE WELCOME.
SPOUTED OUT EACH AND EVERYDAY
BUT THE UNSPEAKABLE WORDS...
WE NEVER HEAR OR SAY...
i LOVE YOU.
I'VE NEVER SEEN THE ANSWER,
BUT ONLY SEEN THE END;
FROM WHEN I HAVE NOT QUITE GOT IT
AND BOTCHED IT UP AGAIN.
I'LL BLAME IT ON INDECISION,
THAT DARK AND LOATHSOME BEAST
SPAWNED FROM OTHERS DERISION
WHICH BLINDS MYSELF FROM ME.
IF YOU ARE STILL LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER
I HAVEN'T QUITE PERCEIVED
THAT ALL I HAVE SAID ARE DAMN QUESTIONS
REGARDING OUR HUMAN NEEDS
DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND THEM
IT WILL ONLY LEAVE YOU CONFUSED
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL YOU!
JUST NEVER LOSE THAT SPARK OF LIFE
THAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE
AND ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
FOR WHEN YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR:)
