What is it that you ask?
The question does remain
What drives you to your task?
In this roller coaster game


Where one day we are down
The next we’re simply not
We try so not to drown
In this visionary’s knot

Is it love that truly scares me?
Or lack of thought for it?
Do I let these ties unbind me?
Or grab a hold of it.


Can there be just that one moment
When I know just what to do
See everywhere I’m going
The lies we’re holding to

What I need is just the knowledge
A glimpse of what’s to be
To know that we are living
That love can set me free

funny...was looking for old poems and since I'm feeling a bit cynical today myself---thought I'd send this around again.

This is pretty good. I enjoyed it... the use of italics had a neat effect.
