We come into this world born free
Free from taxes, free from discrimination
Then something oversees our hopes and dreams
It encompasses all we wish to do, all we wish to become
Our dreams crumble apart as our minds get dumped back to 'reality'
We lose our ambition, we lose our sense of creativity
We have no higher level to achieve, we can only follow in the
institutionalized ways of methodical civilization
We keep aback withdrawing our bodies, withdrawing our emotions
We take life as it comes and never question why or look past the thin
surface that wants to be cracked
Yet there still remains those of us who have not followed into the already
beaten path
This path may be popular, but is so impersonal that it makes all others better
We take the road less traveled, we take our own roads and eventually make it
as we go along
And it is for this we suffer: when others merely frown, we cry; when others
smile, we burn in laughter
We feel more, we get attached more, we experience more and if not for any
other reason, this makes us superior
We know what we are looking for
We can see our dream an don't think about the task of obtaining it, but
rather at the dream itself
We are few and in that sense, we are precious
It's true though, we too have our hard times, but with someone else like us
there, they are easily overcome
It is with our own complexities that we, are our best
It is like seeing the rainbow in a stormy night sky
It shouldn't have its potential decreased until it fill its amplitude
It is like seeing the rainbow in a stormy night sky
Rarely does it happen but when it does it should be cherished forever more
I've seen the rainbow, now where do I go
