This is a poem I wrote when I was 14. |
why is it nothing seems so Where did the blue skies go People always saying one thing And doing another Where did the faith go Never knowing which way to go Or where to turn As i sit here and let my mind wonder Going into the depths of myself I have to ask Where did the courage go Never knowing what to say Or what to think Or even how to act It's all automatic All rehearsed Once again I ask Where did the strength go Exhaustion takes over Now we're going into over time And once again i say It's all automatic We sit here Trying to fool each other But only really fooling ourselves No more lies Or false hope Or even empty promises That'll be the day I know i've asked this before But I have to know Where did the truth go Used to look on the bright side But now it's just negativity That's all we hear Never hearing the possibilities Of how it should go Or could go Or would go Just hearing the empty promises Or how bad it really is But then again Nothing is as bad as it seems Once again I ask Where did the hope go Just an empty shell Of our former selves Losing ourselves Who we are And what we've done Looking in the mirror And not recognizing the person The person looking back at us They do the same thing Mimmicking our every move They look familiar But yet you don't recognize them Or you just don't want to Where did we go Where did anything go Bravery And happiness Purirty And innocence Anything good And pure in this world Where did it all go Did we put it in the back of our minds Along with priority And push pride forward Cause if you really think about it You to will start to wonder Where did it all go. |
