Poetic in Tongue

One and the Same

When you're feeling blue

And you can't escape

And your old bones

Are in terrible shape

You can take my hand

I'll lead you away

To a shinier start

To a better day

When you were young

You felt alive

Now that you're not

You're cold inside

You need a talk?

To repent your sins?

You need my help?

Well now that depends...

To get what you need

You must let yourself go

Prove to the world

And put on a show

Explain to them all

That your not who they say

Live a little bit

Give to them everyday

Send a message to all

Put faith in their hearts

That its not hard to try

Not too late to start

Cause everyone knows

That when your time is up

You regret all those times

You were never enough

And when I look in the mirror

The mirror of the future

I see you (I) by a window

And my heart fills with torture

That I never did enough

And you know that's quite a shame

When our pictures are together

We are one and just the same...

This poem is about the younger version of a woman meeting herself at 80 years of age and she realizes how in her life she accomplished nothing. Its quite sad....
