Reality Without A Mask

Watch the TV
nothing seems real
try to be me
hard to deal
Never feeling
all your loathing
silent breathing
time is going

Death..death..murder..murder..kill kill my own kin
Death..death..murder..murder..kill kill for no reason

Hypocrisy,Nothing seen
This Democracy — and apathy
the same damn word to me

Run to war
kill his soul
Come back home
never show
emotional darkness
enchanting light
children’s carcass
dead at night

change the world
you try to hard
at a stand still
cut with shards
what about us
the ones you trust
never more, never more
you cant ignore

People dead in the streets
and your face all beat
run to new worlds
conquer there fleet
left here to die
no matter how hard we try
too bad, so sad
the governments alibi

what about me
what about you
help thy neighbor
meet thy reaper
falling to the ground
going six feet deeper
trust no one
distrust everyone

As Good As It Gets

Figments of imagination
Running wild with ambient thoughts
My life is standing, still with anguish
This is all that has been brought

is this as good as it gets
I feel like regret
I am nothing in your master plan
Is this as good as it gets
How could I let
You bring me down in life again

every second the world turns
always thought I lived and learned
Never thought of this the way you did
Every second I’m ripped by the lies you hid

ever turning little sinners, selfish eyes, deviant lies
no truth, it is true all the things I said to you
leaving now, forever down, crown of frowns, left behind
take me away, on this day, emotions twined, speechless minds
servant of the masquerade, soon will be the end of days
open my eyes, to the blindness inside
Now its time for you to  HIDE!!

Never again, will I play your games
I see the truth all over your face
Inside your eyes, Blackness resides
This is the way that love dies
is this as good as it gets
I feel like regret
I am nothing in your master plan
Is this as good as it gets
How could I let
You bring me down in life again

Reflections of Ourselves

Why do people tell you one thing, then as soon as you are out of earshot they do something else? Why do people put on a fake smile when they are around company they do not enjoy? Why are some men willing to get lost while driving before they stop and ask for directions? Why is it that in American society we feel the need to try and live our lives in parallel with the celerity style life? These are all relevant questions, that I am sure every person would have a different answer too. In my own life experiences I have learned that even the not so nice people like to pretend to be nice in order to further there own personal gain. Why can’t people just be themselves? I personally think it is a complex reflecting the socialistic way of life that we live in. People have a common want to be liked by everyone. So they are afraid to appear weak or boast different opinions because they are scared of a lively debate or even maybe a confrontation from the people that tend to live on a one track mind with no room for others opinions. It amazes me why people do what they do. Another thing that bothers me about people in general is lies. Lies never help anyone and they always come back on you ten fold. People need to be more open with each other and truthful so that we can all respect and observe others opinions. Lies, are something of a different animal. I have my own theory on why people lie. I believe that they lie simply because they are incapable of feeling inferior to the person they are talking to.  Like for instance if you are at a party or even out to dinner with friends, Then someone says “Hey, I went on vacation to the Bahamas last week, it was great” Isn’t there always someone within the crowd, or maybe you yourself, that feels like you need to tell a story in order to at least feel on the same level or as interesting as what this other person has just said? It is all a means to fit in.  If we as a people do not feel like we belong our instincts kicks in and we automatically feel like distancing ourselves from group settings.

It amazes me why we do the things we do. Don’t you think life would be much easier if people were more accepting of our differences and not focused on just the things we have in common. We go to school to learn from others who are suppose to be smarter then us. Why does that have to be limited to school, why can’t we approach that mentality with everyday people who may know more then we do? The way I see that is a free education.  Knowledge is always power, so why do we reject knowledge if it perhaps comes from someone who is not a teacher or a professor? Doesn’t make sense to me, but I think if we open up our minds and learn from one another without thinking it will destroy our pride, then we will all be much better off. No need to lie to people, if you feel the need to lie in order to fit in, then you simply are not being yourself anyways and you are portraying a person that you are not. So in the greater scheme of things, even though with your lies you feel like you fit in, at the end of the day you have to live with the fact that you lied about who you are and what you do, so you still do not fit in, because you were not truthfull about who you are to begin with. So see, Lying does not prove anything, other then you are simply a coward, and scared to voice your own opinions and ideas. If nothing else I have achieved with my first article here, I hope that once you read this, it helps you think of people you know, or possibly even yourselves and next time you are having a conversation you will feel the need to just be yourself and not try and be something that you aren’t.  Thank you.
