What We Are
------------

Billions of faces looking to the sky
Searching for that ever elusive answer
Shining stars keep their words to themselves
Looking inside is not an option

We\'re afraid of ourselves.

Emotional outbursts are not becoming of us
We\'re better than how we were designed
Hold it back, swallow it up, push it in
Silence is stronger than the fist you make

We are human.
We are angry.
We are sad.
We are hungry.
We are alive.

Being free does not mean being without reality
Even in this world of strangling truth and lies
Nobody steps outside of the law
Unless you\'ve got the money, the gun, or the drugs

Power is as power does
We all want to control ourselves
Control is faith, faith is control
Tying your hands will save your soul

We are lonely.
We are afraid.
We are indignant.
We are awake.
We are liars.

Billions of faces living on a small world
But every one of us is alone
We cannot feel eachother
And we\'re afraid to embrace those that are different

The thin line between life and servitude was crossed
Hold that job until you\'re old enough to die
Watch your children corrupt from within
Hold your lover\'s hand when your moment arives

We are strong.
We are weak.
We are everything.
We are each other.
We are one.

what the first person said is rather rude, but i don't find it that poetic.. it seems more like a series of thoughts trying to be in the fore of a poem, but there seems to be very little pace or connection between the things.. it needs work, buut there are some good things about it.. if you would like me to help you out a little, just send me a note...

I'm accustomed to your rambling style by now, and I like it. What really got my attention, though, was one line:

'Tying your hands will save your soul'

Hello Darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains...
