an opinion on life
we are but travelers

on this bitter sweet journey

living one moment at a time

taking in what we can on this voyage



so many roads we have traveled

so many paths that have been tread

we are all but lost trying to find our way

with no compass no true direction



we walk through the shadows

through the night, through the darkness

that which is in our hearts, and our minds

willing a light to show us the way



we stumble and trip

fall and cry out, only to stand again

we have the scars to prove the hardship

and the memories that go with them



we survive, we persivere, we live on

though our travels are tiresome and weary

we continue forward

forward to another day another voyage



we sucumb to our weaknesses

fall victim to the lies we web in our life

tangeling ourselves further as time goes on

till we can move no longer



we feel, we have emotion

yet we fight those same emotions that make us who we are

we become what we are not, we become the lie

and that lie is the truth, yet that same truth is a lie



we die yet we live

we are only certain of this truth

that the only thing that is real is death

and life is but a fantasy



we live this fantasy

one day at a time diving further into this fantasy

as reality slips through our fingers

and we lose those precious moments of reality to our fantasies



we are but children not knowing just doing

so innocent yet corrupt constantly learning and growing

life is but a journey on which we learn

what you do with that knowledge though is up to you
