heRE wE are..

What you see is what you get..

Until you discover a side of me

You hadn't met..

Yet..

Here we are..

We've all got another side..

We try so hard to hide..

Hurt ourselves just to feel alive..

Reflection staring back..

It's undenied.

Yet..

Here we are..

I'd go as far as my eye can see..

I'd go as far as to say..

It doesn't come too easily..

Chaotic world breeds chaotic thoughts..

I'll be the change it needs..

No surprise it came to nought..

Yet..

Here we are..

Here we are and by we I mean me..

Me and my thoughts try to destroy..

The boy, the man..

God intended me to be..

Left alone to roam..

Pay attention to the tone

Of my own inner conversation..

Words like napalm drops..

Causing mass devastation.

Yet..

Here we are..

Wandering constantly..

Searching for answers..

How did I turn into this drifting chancer?

Allowed my self doubt..

To become my master?

Battle lines drawn in the dirt as a child

Stuck in a drawer labelled numb..

Forgotten and filed.

Key on a string around my neck..

Frayed, snapped and lost..

Haven't found it yet.

And..

Here we are..

As mentioned before.. by we I mean me..

The side you see.. the one I set free..

Until you discover another side of me..

With hideous flaws..

Numbered one to a hundred or 4..

Would you still want to see..

Look inside and know me..

We've all got another side..

Some ignore it, and some let it slide.

Some hold it close, bury it and hide..

Shop windows to a million eyes..

Do we see something reflected back at us?

Maybe something we despise?

Yet here I am..

Living with me on the daily

Do I like what I see, who I am?

Some days.. sure..

Well.. maybe.
