Living In The Mind's Cage

29.

One day,
One, day,
We will get what we want,
But on that day, it will be too late,

The breath of air in our lungs,
The feeling of being alive,
It's what we strive for,
But what are we willing to die for?

To care that much,
But not at all, dying for someone is easy,
To live for them is a blissful curse,
Being without is always worse,

We can count our days knowing each isn't guaranteed,
We can keep searching the world for what we "need",
We can laugh and smile,
Wishing it will last a little while, until you don't,

The days are numbered but they aren't in order,
We move them constantly with our disorders,
We were once kids begging for quarters,
For the gum machine, from our parents,

We dressed how we wanted, not having a care,
Our innocent laughter filled the ignorant air,
We weren't afraid to take a risk, because it was fun,
We'd kick off our shoes, while we run,

Simple emotions, easily seen,
Simple problems, that anyone could ween,
Simple toys, and joys,
Simple food, of our choice,

These were all simple necessities of our days,
Constantly looking for the parents okays,
Smiling easily, easily pleased,
But all of that was so easily ceased,

We all grew up, and it turns into a blur,
Because the new you, doesn't want to dwell on who you were,
Those happy memories, now a distant lullaby,
It sometimes makes you want to cry,

We can't keep anything good in our lives,
It gets snuffed out, forgotten, in the lies,
Going to school, meeting new friends,
Doing work, til you're at your wits end,

Our lives are but a small impression,
You'd think now we'd learnt our lesson,
But we take the stupid choices, knowing it was wrong,
Hoping you went on the right path all along,

Life's a joke so laugh,
Life's hell, so walk through it,
Life's exciting, live it,
Life's hard, ask for help,
Life changes, go with it,
Life's taxing, pay it,
Life's taken for granted, so give it,

We all lost something from ourselves,
Physical objects, family, homes, something that meant the world,
So make something that can never be misplaced,
To make new childhood memories that won't be erased.

Life is short, but it can be long enough.

A/N: So yea disappeared for a week again, sorry about that. This one doesn't really rhyme, but they don't have to, that's just my preference. So I'm not really sure when updates will be but I'll try not to disappear for 2 weeks like the first time. I might be able to do once a week. I'm not really in the creative mood, so I havent really thought more about the Cover and title, but for now it's going to stay that way. Once again took pics from google and put them together, I just say this so people dont think im taking credit, because they arent mine. Let me know what you think, errors and what not.
Until then.
