In an ideal world, where perfection is reality
In an ideal world, where fantast is practicality
I would be a fantasist, head up in the clouds
I would be at peace, not phased by all the crowds
In an ideal world, success would be achieved
In an ideal world, all beauty would be perceived
I would be an optimist, full of positivity
I would be successful, Happy and carefree
In an ideal world, no judgements would be made
In an ideal world, all shallowness would fade
I would be a socialist, known only for me
Nothing but precision, would fill my memory
In an ideal world, there would be no rejection
In an ideal world, we would need no protection
I would be likeable, in a way that can be adored
I would be strong, wouldn’t need to be reassured
In an ideal world, all dreams would come true
In an ideal world, it would just be me and you.
As one step goes up
I breathe in fresh air
As one step goes up
I do no longer care
As one step goes up
It takes away my pain
As one step goes up
It takes away my shame
As one step goes up
I see colours rich and gold
As one step goes up
I no longer feel the cold
As one step goes up
I reach out to every cloud
As one step goes up
I watch down upon the crowd
As one step goes up
I leave the bad behind
As one step goes up
Heaven is what I find.
One day I will escape your mighty grasp
One day I will set myself free
One day I will erase my feelings
Wipe them away completely
You take control of my mind
With each heart string that you pull
You act as my nourishment
Make me feel I need you to be full
You take away my attention
From other places it should be
You make me act in a way
That really is not me
You’ve got me in a cycle
A never ending track
Just as I’m about to cross the finish line
To the start I am pulled back
So please Mr Puppeteer
Would you cut the strings?
Let me fly free again
Give me back my wings.
You were once a silver lining
You suddenly became a dark cloud
You was once a special stranger
Now again just part of the crowd
You reduce my insecurities
Only to put them back
You gave me direction
Now you pushed me off track
You became an exception
From everything I came to reject
You became an idea
That I stood only to protect
You became a challenge
Something to pursue
When everything became routine
You were fresh and new
I guess you knew you had my attention
No reason, just because
Now you appear just to remind me
Of what really never was…
I took another step
My footprint indenting the sand
I admired beneath me
The tiny grains upon the land
I stared up and the sky
So clear and blue
So peaceful and delicate
Almost seems brand new
A patch of grass
So perfect and green
Life’s usually greener on the other sides
But today’s the best I’ve seen
Water swishes back and forth
Sprinkles softly touch my face
I stand there calm and dreamily
Taking in the perfect place
No room for life’s imperfection
No room to despise
Because as of now
I’m walking through paradise.
As high as the sky
As deep as the sea
There lays a secret
Deep down beneath me
Beneath my smile
There lays something more
Behind my eyes
There hides what I saw
Beneath what you see
There lays what I feel
Beneath my fantasies
You will find what is real
Behind my face
There stays all my emotion
Behind the peace you see
You’ll find all the commotion
You don’t understand
You just assume what you first see
So really and truly
You don’t know the real me.
It doesn’t have to rhyme depend which you prefer, there are lots of different rhyming patterns though if you do want to make it. I generally stick to making it rhyme on every other line :).
As everything seems to be wrong
And nothing seems to be right
You feel permanently stuck in the dark
You have to hold on to the hope of light
You feel stuck in a never ending tunnel
That never seems to glow
But the thought of a glint of happiness
Makes you hold on and never let go
You blindly feel you way around
Hoping for the best
Life feels like an unfair game
Life feels like a never ending test
Then as you’re staring through the darkness
You see a faint shine of light
Thing start to look better
Everything going to be alright
You start to walk toward the glow
And its starts to get brighter
The heavy weight upon your shoulders
Gradually starts to get lighter
Problems start to disappear
Difficulties get resolved
You can now start to look ahead
Now that things are being solved
You can now start to smile again
And not fake that pasted on grin
You may have lost once before
But now you can go in for the win
So even when you’re feeling down
I have a message to send
No matter how dark the tunnel may seem
There is always a light in the end
Frantically I search for something else
An image in my mind
Distractions count for nothing now
As you is all I find
I tried so hard to give you up
And for a while it seemed to last
But now I’m having second thoughts
Doubting questions flow frequent and fast
For a while I kept myself in line
Set my own regulations
My mind was doing fine
My feelings were the complications
How could I be so foolish
I broke all of my rules
But if that’s life for common sense
I guess I’m amongst the fools
I guess I’m going crazy
Would that be something new
I sit and wait for peace of mind
But all that comes is you!
She was just a young girl
She did not understand
She couldn’t really see
The feelings that were at hand
Yes she agreed
When he asked her out
But neither of them properly knew
What their relationship was about
He was just a player
At the same age as her
He was too young for a girlfriend
Especially a girl like her
She wouldn’t see his bad side
Even when she knew he was wrong
But she couldn’t stop liking him
When she had loved him for so long
He said “i love you”
Did he really mean it, or had it just slipped out
She said “i love you too”
But they were just words flung about
Gradually they drifted
And their relationship fell apart
To him she was just a memory
But for her he was a burden on her heart
But when she looked back
She realised he was not all good
She finally saw the bad in him
A long time after she should
But for some strange reason
There was still something there
Something that made her still want him
Something that made her still care.
