true sight

we all came from all parts of the globe
so different we saw nothing in common
pride and prejudice
we were not ready to sit down and see
see the similarities we shared

obvious differences overrode
the mere presence of the hidden bond

pushing through the differences
we fought to stay together
knowing we were doing it not for each other
but just cause we needed to

however, the ice have slowly melted away
and we saw how blinded we were
how the days have combined us
so tightly we're attached
by heartstrings and pulses

now, every surge and tug
i feel deep inside
for i know how they feel
for i truly see them

end

the water ahead looks choppy
the wind ahead feels strong
the air suddenly becomes thick and heavy
pulling all oxygen away from me

surrounding me,
the others turn into vultures
prowling and circling me
ready to pounce and attack

ready to flee and pull away
i pull as hard as i can
surging forward i don't look back
can't afford to, i must look ahead
focused and ready to dispense my strength

the race hasn't end
for this is just the beginning
we aren't winners
we aren't losers
not till the end of ends

worlds apart


it seems i know nothing about you
and you nothing of me

we could be so different
we're like fire and ice
we could be so similar
we think the same things

but we'll never know
because we're worlds apart
