Awakened

The young children scream innocence

wonder flows through their tiny veins

curiosity projects through the virgin eyes

full of imagination, free as we all wish to be

thriving for acceptance reoccurs as we grow

sharing new lies with one another daily

programmed to be the same

originality has fled from our existence 

deeply looking into the eyes of the stars

they whisper there is so much more-

i strive to break free from these chains of society

take me back to my original state

i see you all living on one strict idea

blinded by belief with no realization 

like a child i look around with my awakened eyes-

its much more peaceful this way

If you can learn to listen to the stars

they will never take you astray

they quietly mourn for you to see

the true beauty hid behind the mask of our universe
