Who We Are

I am a part of life

But is it still a part of me

I try to live my life and not look back

But maybe I have left it all behind me

And forward is no longer the way to go

And adventure is not the answer

Or is it still for me

And how do I know

If i am awake

Or if this is a bad dream

Where is the line

Between dream and nightmare

And real life?

Have we lost what we are

And become what we swore to not be

Why

Is the hardest question

Always the one that needs an answer

How

Do we reverse what we have done

When

Did everything change

Why were we put in each other's lives just to be torn away

Falling from the leaps of faith

That seemed like a good idea at the time

Maybe nothing

Has changed at all

And we are damaged

All on our own

And when the sky grows dark with our mistakes

Do we run or do we

Look up and embrace what we have done

Let it lift us up

And become what we were once again

And would that be good or bad

And who gets to decide

Where does the power of life go

When one loses it

We are forever who we are

And we do not make that choice

We lose our minds in the swirl of lives

Only to find them in our friends

And when we grow apart

By choice or force or death or all

Will we still be who we are

And I fell in love with the promise of life

Or maybe I just fell

One choice

Will lead to another

And that one can

Transform

Destroy

Define

Who we are
