Re-lies...

"I forget sometimes, people are people..."

One-sided, misguided, delusional, & beyond most worthwhile reasons

It shows & hides well among the ever-changing seasons

With smile like crocodiles, tears from practice over the years, it's easy to forget such talents exist these days

Whether aware, or clueless, without a care, they go about misguided self-reassured ways

Blessed in bliss, they miss the risk most see worthless

As the sunsets, those who know them well place bets, what'll be done in the name of a semi-moment of one-sided fun

It's rarely a joke worth a second laugh, or sharing beyond a head-nod, barely remembered by another

At times, it seems, even in eyes as the actions take place, it doesn't seem worth the bother

Gentle today seems to mean being mean with a smile

Arguments based solely on a past reason, long settled with actual emotional intent all the while

Today, without real problems, most rationalize wants with priority above anything more

The fighting seems all too shallow, in a sea of possibility, among the words spoken, there's not much to explore

Either against or for, in only a small way at that

They've forgotten what it means to half-heartedly try...to give all being the original correct life-long format

Even then, it left space for interpretation

Not one-sided negative possibility being the main point of persuasion

Such a sad future, our family trees turned to weeds at some point, never finding common ground to grow

Imaginations seeming lost among sound minds mute to those who claim the loudest to know...

We may never see all or any of our dreams come true, but trying is enough in itself, the chance, the ones we all can achieve before a future we dreamt can come to fruition

Don't follow so plain all the same, the crowd wandering aloud

What's a tomorrow better than today without ambition...
