I have come to love what I can never have
The bitterness of reality’s nectar cringes my soul
My courage seems more evading then the end of a rainbow
I feel as if I am locked in a glass cage   . . .
Looking out but never stepping
How can something so right be so frightening
The real monster of it all lies within
Taunting malicious words, outlining past failures
One solution leads to the next excuse  . . .
A never-ending pattern tracing a route of my own deceit
Thus leaving me a faceless man who in the end concludes . . .
I have come to love what I can never have


There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all
-Creed

Baerlon~
Interesting thoughts ...
sometimes when we can't have what we love,
we must learn to love what we have ...

'One solution leads to the next excuse ...'
I like this.
