Gone In The Wind

Gone In The Wind

A Poem by Lana

Fear is nothing I haven't said in a thousand poems
I cannot be taught about this fog that can destroy us
And turn into a tornado of self-chaos

But I went to school today
And my teacher told me what fear is
To not let it get to your head, it's not real
It's just something that sounds good to your ear 
But when you experience it, it's another deal

Ever since my house has been knocked down by this tornado
My hopes and dreams fell down like a domino
I felt my body floating down a river but it felt like a 
Bed; A warm bed and people threw flowers on my body
Like a lost soul, it's too late, no more seed

You gotta rebuild a new house with your own hands
Look for the right materials 
And deal with the right animals
But it's nothing you can't do
Apparently fear gets you cause you have no clue
How to react or understand that you can chew
It out; and spit it out, you can do that can't you?

Mister Teacher, always has a missing piece 
In his IKEA furniture, needs instructions 
But teaches us that fear is just a system
Of thoughts and patterns that you can control
When there is something called brain disorders

It's funny to see our education system
Show us videos about how the education system is fucked up
And how everything is rigged but believing that their class makes a difference
I don't know if people realize their own bullshit
Or the crap of the world that splatters in their own faces
But it's funny, I'm no better than them
But at least I can see the s**t that's on my face 

You are probably reading this thinking 
What the hell did I waste my time in?
But if you feel like it's the truth then you're alright in
My eyes; I think you might be the one
Who lift up your house when it was gone
In the wind
