Dreamily & Wistfully Thoughtful

Brow furrows, forehead creases pressed to the lines of your palms
What happens, what's next, I'm young but I can see the hands fly

I'm confused, motivated, depressed, fiery, calm,
intrigued, mixed, oh so many qualms

Build your facade, hold it steady,
defense mechanisms seen as charismatic and potential

Lies and truths overlap, distinguish and adjust,
realize and deflect, forge ahead

Kill with kindness, do what's right,
shock them in a positive manner, that's the differential

Mistake no kindness for weakness, book by it's cover,
frown for a menace, explore instead

With resolve, it falls into place with blurred lines and simple realization

It's not as complex as you think,
the connections are there plain as the necessities are bare

Keep your eyes trained on the horizon,
psyche grips the destination

We all have it inside of us,
these great qualities are not at all rare.
