Keep It By Your Side.

by Ironic Allure   Apr 14, 2007


Maybe I'm small in a very big world,
but these are words for all their worth,
it's the fear that makes you decide,
and it's the guilt that makes you improve,
with everything you're sure of aside,
do you even know?
what is it that you're looking for?
i don't know who are you but i know,
to face the facts and leave it well alone.
how does it feel to be different from me?
i don't have to find home to be happy.
try a little harder and measure up.
almost isn't quite good enough.
it must get boring sitting on your worries,
when things seem a little, well, complicated.
now that i simply couldn't be happier.
try a little harder and measure up.
one day you'll realise and find it's too late.
right now I'm sure it's all pretty strange,
you've got all you need but the will to change.
while I've got direction and the wind in my hair.
just don't let them see you cry.
dust of your shoulders and you'll make it there.
roll your eyes and you'll lose your grip,
just stay to the end and make it count.
when every footstep comes at a cost,
and a couple of memories are slightly lost,
remember to breathe while you're alive.
there's nobody waiting for the finale but you,
you'll cover bridges you didn't know you'd cross,
run through the clouds with the joy and the thrill.
and if that feeling doesn't thrill you,
perhaps like you'd expected it to, still,
i couldn't be happier, so just be happy.
the truth is not that nobody cares,
the truth is that nobody knows,
just let it go;
remember to breathe while you're still alive,
because this is how you feel,
when your dreams are finally real;
well, isn't it?

    A really amazing write, my only criticism is the repitition seemed to take something away, not add anything.
    other than that flawless... your fluency was outstanding, what i like the most is the realistic way you tell the poem.
