Sorry couldn't keep away from the long ones. ;-) . HIDDEN FACES WE ALL KNOW We know them Please You know of what I speak The hidden faces of those we know Many have two Some have more We know better, those that read these words We have all done it at some time We know them because we have our own We blame others of doing that which we do without a seconds thought Do unto others Right We are what we are No one can change that, I wish sometimes we could Erase the people we are Create those we always wished we could become Given the chance Alas we aren’t so lucky Life is life we make it We break it Most cases we just break it Words we have said Always wishing we never had Too proud to take them back we travel forever in sorrow Forever wishing we could remove what was said Forever knowing we cannot I am what I am You are what you are We make ourselves then get angry at the outcome No one is to blame but ourselves Yet we blame any whom come into contact with us So poor the human soul So starving for the attention of those we shun We die as the nourishing roots of life cry watching the death of a loved one so ignorant So full of themselves they failed to see the aura of love echoing through the valley The valley they created to live in My valley Your valley The valley of the dead The dying The lost So foolish are we So pathetic Until the time comes Sitting in a room that smells of death We sit telling the tales of lost years Tears are shed that never should have been Never should have become The lost years? They were never lost Always there they were, some people just were not around to see What once was, always to be? The photos they were never in The stories told by others when it should have been them telling the tale Hidden faces cry the sad loss of misfortune Hidden faces weep the stories told by others Told by time that has without mercy taken their life Taken the gift forsaken by you Oh God Oh God how sad the life of one lost How sad to tell the tale of one with no tale to tell Shallow whispers in the darkness The tale told None heard it The whispers trail in the wind Lost forever more Stories told Will pass in time When those that knew them die And those that heard them forget Hidden faces weep We weep with them We know what we are What we have become Them We have become those we always wished we never would It’s easy to look back and see the faults To look back and cry for those lost years So many lost years Where did we go wrong? How could I have been so stupid? Years gone now Deal with it Make up for those years before the earth takes you forever more Human pride is the undoing of all happiness Remove the human factor and humanity would have utopia Remove us from ourselves And you remove the hidden faces we all know Know all too well. |

Always seeking the truth and finding it.... you're an inspiration, doll! Our scars are the foundation for what we have become |

I'm always Seeking the truth. No matter how harsh it might be, it's weird that the truth makes me dislike humanity and even myself the more I find it. Yet I can't help but push forward and dig through the dirt hoping to find more. |
