Just a way of speech

I figured it was just a way of speech

That we accept the love we think we deserve

We think ourselves weak

 

Then that fateful day comes along

Where you lose the habit

You are out of control

 

Something dear that you start to demand

And still you tell yourself it’s not yours to have

Little by little you start not to care

 

You want something of this world

You want something out of this world

That breathes life

 

Can you really have it

Is it actually yours to keep

That perfect dream

 

I figured it was just a way of speech

 

Now you start to give

For some reason you also want to take

You who should not have a piece of this cake

 

Distance grows within yourself

Unsure of what you now are

And still you know now what you want

 

You are told things of beauty

Laughing it off because that is your duty

To be an insect among men

 

Desires compromise the plan

To just be there and be a helping hand

Your tears are a promise of that you can be free

 

And the closer you get

The more of that freedom you have

It’s all in your head

 

I figured it was just a way of speech

 

Clueless why you want more than you are allowed

And this is how it transpires

That maybe just maybe those words of beauty had truth in them all along

 

You laugh at it

With a million more thoughts

With a thousand more questions

 

Take off the mask

Be who you want and are

Stand tall

 

With fire in your chest

Heat that will never stop

A light that keeps growing fast

 

I figured it was just a way of speech

That we accept the love we think we deserve

We think ourselves weak

 

I figured it was just a way of speech
