What This is

by Brian n Josh   Aug 12, 2005


Great Times of Depression
Changing to ones of great Succession
Learning from our mistakes
Knowing that there is no retakes

Our Adolescent Misbehavior
To questioning our savior
From our birth to our death
All in a quick breathe

This is Life

The feeling of great desire
The fuel for your inner fire
The emptiness inside
When emotions collide

Dropping everything for a single cause
Knowing they’re the one without a pause
Being there for those you need
Watching the caged become freed

This is Love

Seeing your partner leave
For another person on Christmas Eve
Feeling the stress increase
As we cry for the deceased

The nervousness and fear
When our friends are scared
Being surprised at an occasion
And laughing at our humiliation

This is emotion

Being able to fly
And never fearing to die
Not knowing our fear
With eyes dry from lack of tears

Never knowing any pain
Just the sweetness of a sugar cane
Leaving home without a care
Just to do what you would never dare

This is Dreaming

Living your life obeying the law
While criminals make cities turn raw
Always holding your hopes up high
When deep down you want to break down and cry

Questioning everything we do
To what scientists really try and prove
Knowing only what we’re told
Wondering why the world is so cold

This is Reality

Spending our lives looking for
What’s behind that hidden door
The meaning of life
Covered by strife

You wonder about it every night
Just for it you put up your fight
It’s covered with all sorts of lies
And those who realize always die

This is Truth

Sharing all you know
To trusting a foe
Lending out your soul
Just to reach your goal

Going through hell to leave
To do what you believe
Having hope for oneself
And trusting yourself

This is Faith

What this is, is a great composition
Of what makes up our disposition
We feel what we do
And question what we once knew

We give our tears to our pain
Only to have it washed away in the rain
We are taught to question
Then punished for the answer we mention

We are told to believe
Even when we see the world indulging in greed
We watch time go by
We are born to die

This is who we are
