Is your heart too vital for seeing
Or your mind too nervous, and set for thinking
Is the world too big for grand surprises
Or is it too small for shrinking?
Do you know
There's no one truth
There's no one separation
Nor a single soul to take
From miles of preparation
Do you smile
If you've known all the while
Or do you pull your hair with grief
Or do you fly above the skies
Dreaming, or in your sleep?
Is your life to beautiful for saving
Or is it not very grand at all --
Is it just a marvelous game worth playing
One that you always get up when you fall--
Do you dream
If you know you have seen
The negatives of your nightmares
Do you feel
The need to kneel
Or do you grin, and fight them?

usually i grin and fight them, and wake up hiding behind a smile and sunglasses, so no one can see how i feel. thank you for your entry.
