A time to live

The truth will set you free,

We’ve heard this time and time again.

What about the things we never want to see,

We block it out to to keep ourselves sane.

Like when you see blue but hope it's yellow,

Or that the orange sky will swallow you whole,

Or when you see that halo floating over a certain fellow,

Making your body soar high along with your dreamy patient soul.

Life can fling things at you and expect you to cope,

Climb up that golden staircase with your head held up high,

Always smiling never shall you be allowed to mope,

Never shall you allow yourself to question yourself why.

We need to face brutality and the loss of faith,

Need to find courage within ourselves when all seems lost,

Need to find things that will sometimes our needs satiate,

Yet hope that our souls it won’t cost.

Living in such a hectic pace we struggle,we fight,

We loose our way sometimes and even that scared goal,

That we set for ourselves so that we won’t lose sight,

Of our Eutopia,fearing we’ll get sucked into a hole.

Sometimes it is so easy to give up and go,

Never look back,never remember what we could have had.

Keep plowing the fields of our mind with a rusted hoe.

Only in darkness do we let ourselves be ungrateful,be sad.

Yes fear drives us,but when did passion fade away,

When did the truth become so ugly,

That you could no longer grasp what I had to say,

That you had to turn away to hide your humanity from me.

Sometimes when the darkness crept in those droptlets of water would hide,

The times of innocence wouldn’t be out of reach,

We didn’t need to choose a side,

Or have to pretend to preach.

They said the truth would set us free,

Yet it blinds us and makes hatred grow,

Doesn’t let us soar or let us be,

Or let us on the river of infinity row.

Maybe a time will come when the truth won’t be circulated,

Like a cup of coffee wanted by no one.

A time when we won’t be able to remember the ones we hated,

A time when what was done could be just as easily undone.

Or maybe when we get over the fear of being unaccepted,

Be strong,be daring and be able to face the bitterness,

We’ll find a way to accept the truth and rise from the dead,

And embrace that beautiful,undiscovered and violet wilderness.
