    I read this world like its second grade fiction
    Non sensical, callous, corroded by lies
    Happiness, joy - are but reeds that we cling to
    Then helplessly watch as they're washed by the tide

    And i'd love to travel all over the earth
    And become lost in love in a far away land
    To use up my time for all that it's worth
    And fulfill all my dreams as best as I can

    But this life isn't mine
    And neither is time
    The illusion of freedom of choice is a lie
    So I'll say with a smile
    "While Im always on trial,
    It'd be nice just to see you
    Once in a while..."

    Few things in life are so pure you can cling to
    Much like a moth that is drawn to the light
    Nobody knows what I've seen, what I've been through
    My words can reflect on the world through my eyes...

    "Happiness, joy - are but reeds that we cling to/ Then helplessly watch as they're washed by the tide" These lines just grabbed me, soooooo good! I love this whole thing, its going into my favorites!

    "The illusion of freedom of choice is a lie " I love this phrase. I guess destiny takes away that choice. I feel the same way.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
