Look at me
What do you see?
Do you see a beautiful woman or a loud, ignorant woman?
Please, I beg you, don’t be quick to judge. See I’m not like the rest of them you talk about.

As we line up in our individual lanes representing our school thoughts begins to emerge.
Questions being to form and doubt sets in.
I look to the left and take another look to my right; these are my competitors.
As i analyze their form and movement inferiority commences.
...

You constantly move through time but you are always by my side.
You move the rugged trees, the calm oceans, and the tender clouds. God you are beautiful.
You move through my hair, past my finger tips and you know how to caress my skin with your sweet gentle touch and i love you for that.
I cannot see you or hold you but i can feel the power of your love as i take you in. In and out, in and out of time.

Everyone has that feeling of loneliness, and emptiness.
I don’t know why most people get them mixed up. Is it because of their lack of knowledge or their ignorance towards it?
Loneliness is the act of being alone and not having a companion, someone to talk to or even hold; while emptiness is the act of containing nothing; no believes, values nor knowledge.
Nothing.

We were out trying to find love
Brink of realizing
There was a lot within us individually.
Trapped in our souls
