The Way It Always Was

Feel it today and let it slip away for tomorrow,
It was never yours and it is a distant truth now.

All heads were high all day only to be wasted to nothing,
Only to shred pieces into pieces never to be joined again.
In case, I’ve never forgotten, the feels were already in pieces,
And now they are to be shredded and dry in endless vain.

If we can’t own it right now and accept it for days,
What are we doing here, learning to live, if it all it may?
To not let an idea take away revolutions brimming up for years,
To let ourselves not change with a single puddle on the way!

I think what we did was our situations to improve for better,
We drifted away as if our past was nothing but prey.
We singled to a new reality to think we’re not victims anymore,
And that if we change, we better make it permanent.

But, things didn’t help, people didn’t come, nor did we stand up for ourselves,
There was nothing we ever could do because it helped no one.
The feeling that brought us here is the same that led it to happen,
Can’t help it, can’t remove it, it’s just the way it always was.
