Smiles fly by
At heights I can’t seem to reach I jump and flail Only to find myself empty handed again I see the eyes of my Father and father Wondering if I will ever get it right But I can’t seem to fly My feet are stuck to the ground The sounds of sirens all around Time is running out Yet still my fingertips are nowhere near The smiles that keep soaring by My peers climb ladders to the Highest points of success But all of my steps appear to be Snapped in half I try to repair them Climb up as fast as I can Only to discover that my tape is too weak And my feet slide back to the ground Once more I see smiles morphing to the faces Of those all around And each of their eyes look down At me and wonder aloud If I will ever climb higher Than the place where I stand They smile and say I must climb my ladder But they can’t seem to see From the heights where they be That my steps are snapped And I have nothing to climb My mind races And collides into demons Who only weigh me down deeper Into the ground And yell louder than any voice That smiles are not meant for people like me You see My ladder is broken beyond repair I must accept the ladder that I’ve been given And sink into the pits where I belong Deep in the earth Away from the smiling faces Whom I would only despair It is only fair After all, my steps are snapped I fall in love too easily
Please never show me any vulnerability I love souls too much to be exposed to them Please don’t show me who you really are Unless you plan on loving me back We live in a world of masks Please don’t remove yours Unless you want me to fall in love Your beauty radiates through the side Of the person you display to the world I can see the potential of who you can be But I swear if I see the whole thing I will fall madly and irreversibly in love Please fake it like the rest of the puppets walking by Or else I won’t be able to stop myself From falling in love We all live in fear that if our deepest thoughts Were leaked out into the world That we would and could never be loved But I promise you this one thing Every soul deserves love Every mind is beautiful Even though the world says hide it Don’t But I warn you now If you take off the mask And become who you truly are I will not be able to prevent myself From falling in love |
