ya never know

you think it's easy being me?
well, you don't know the half of it...
imagine a world where nothing is what it seems
and everything is there for the taking,
yet when you reach out to grab it,
it poofs into air like a cloud,
disappearing.
leaving you empty,
alone,
grabbing at air,
unable to get a hold of anything
unable to grasp what just happened,
unable to cope with life without what you almost had.

the things you think are guaranteed
are gone before you know it.
the things you thought were too good to be true,
always were,
cause they always are just that.
the looks you see on everyone else' face
are ones of amazement
for they knew it all along,
and can't believe you just fell for it,
again.
when will he learn? they wonder...
why is he such a fool?
but a true fool never knows he should stop looking, reaching, hoping...
for then,
what if...
just maybe,
one day...


you never know.

Joe,
Always reach. Always aspire.
The jaded cynics who can't believe you fell for it, they get off on pulling things down. You create a viceral beauty they will never understand. Reach.
