Life’s “Ideal”
An ideal you spend chasing all your life
Memories to hold onto ‘til the day you die
Just a spec in the universe, a part of the grand scheme
A hopeless manifestation, an unattainable dream
These days they run towards it with no commitment
So you often wonder if you are the one who is inefficient
“Don’t let them see you sweat” you hear them say
Yet, you are always the one left tongue tied trapped in the fray
You believe something is wrong with you. Why can’t you keep it casual?
The more you rebel against yourself, the more you unravel
Living in delusion, you indulge in something that is fleeting
Some secret affair, several clandestine meetings
Desiring for the long term, believing your defective
But you “need” that high for that change in your perspective
Love becomes lost to you as you leave it all behind
Letting go of those memories as you slowly begin to die
