it happens...
a. m.
22 Apr 2003
The things you do not know What you could not see What you were not supposed to do And what hurt you so deeply
Those who were taken away Those who are still missed The tears that had been ignored And the emotions you hid
The fact that you can never go back The love you lost The lies which you believed And the truths that were beyond you
The fact that drugs have made it better The reality you found on TV The music without sound And the lives that have no purpose
What technology took away What wars have destroyed The prisons filled with innocents And a government that always knew what was best
The suffering that lasts forever The money that bought your happiness What you missed from not reading between the lines And the pain that was pointless
The love that was not strong enough The books filled with blank pages The fact that you let others know what scare you And what you only saw clearly in the dark
What you blindly accepted When other people hurt and you liked it The things that others did not know And what you pretended to not have noticed
Why people hate without reason What happens when you do not care The weeks that were far too long And the days that were not long enough
The things you hid behind The good intentions that paved the road to hell to your hell What the world has become And what happened when you realized your own mortality
Those who hated you with a smile on their face What cosmetics could never fix The deaths that came before their time And who defined what was sane
What you found when there is nothing left The people who left you broken and battered What made you feel ugly And those people you know -who never mattered
The dreams that filled your sleepless nights When all you could save was yourself The pride you swallowed And the shallowness most people embody
The places that remained hidden The dark clouds that do not have silver linings What you closed yourself off from And the blank expressions on everyone's faces
What drove you so far down What fate had in store for you What you lost along the way And the things that you never knew
