Hidden Truths of Life's Unreality

   Searching through
   paths untaken-
   see my mind
   lost and forsaken,

   Keep the rythym
   and feel the rhyme-
   if ya keep that up
   you're doing fine.

   Trust in yourself
   and keep your faith strong-
   else in life's twisted game
   ya won't last long.

   Keep your chin up
   and your nose down-
   smile a lot and try
   not to frown.

   The game of life
   is plaeyed every day-
   so lead, follow,
   or get out of the way.

   It's a hard time
   if ya just be mellow-
   being pushed around
   by a tougher fellow.

   Beat up
   or get beat up-
   either way
   take a drink from life's cup.

   Push abck
   you'll have more fun-
   then it's life: infinite
   you: one.
   
   But soon the one
   turns into two
   and you're not feeling 
   quite so blue.
   
   Then three-
   next four,
   knock down 
   the door.
   
   On your way 
   to five,
   now you 
   feel alive.
   
   Moral of
   the story is-
   screw life's
   little twists.
   
   Make up the rules
   as you go along
   so that you'll make
   the world strong.
   
   Hold the leashe
   that binds us all,
   until you push us back
   and make us fall.
   
   Will you make it in
   the world of mine?
   Or is your heart just for me
   to eat with some wine?
   
   I should hope you will,
   or else for me-
   I wouldst have
   no company.
   
   I've lived my life
   alone already-
   now it's time
   for something steady.
   
   Besides your words
   of pro and con-
   but above my head
   a light turns on.
   
   So much hate
   in the world today-
   it's time for good,
   not bad you say.
   
   I quite agree,
   nothing in jest-
   I'd rather not be scum
   and associated with the rest.
   
   So I open my eyes ti 
   the newest day's light
   and wait patiently
   for the night-
   
   Whence my plight
   comes into play,
   and I may roam
   until the day.
   
   If you see me then,
   run away or run with me-
   For I shant stop to wonder
   wether you be foe or friendly.
