Then What's Being Alive?

What do you want to achieve by running in the race that a busy city organizes?
If running this race, my friends, is being alive, then what's being dead?

Tension of the trains running late after the first rains.
Forgot the feeling of walking down the streets drenched in rain water?

Definitely up to date with the conditions of the characters in serials,
But do you have time to know the same to your mother?

Surely in touch with the world inside the Internet
But don't even know the people who in the neighborhood.

Never forget to connect your phones to wires,
But where's the wire that connects you to your close friends?

When was it last when you enjoyed the view of a beautiful sunset?
Now do you even realize the transition between light and dark?

So friends, What do you want to achieve by running in the race that a busy city organizes?
If running this race, is being alive, then what's being dead?

With Great Expectations, Come Great Disappointments.

With Great Expectations, Come Great Disappointments.

Withered expectations,
They crumble to the ground,
Their pieces scattered,
And you turn around.

I stand with regret,
Tears clear as glass,
It was all my doing,
I caused the crash.

I wont pretend to be ignorant,
Wont pretend I don't know,
You had my life planned,
My future's ascending flow.

Be bold, be charming,
Be intelligent, you say,
Be polite, be sophisticated,
Be perfect in every way.

But I stand here,
Knowing I have failed,
Broken pieces of expectations,
Have made my face pale.

I am ashamed and afraid,
Inside, I am wrecked,
I'm a disgrace to you,
Because I'm not perfect.

These expectations on the floor,
They are proof enough that I,
Will never be that one,
No matter how hard I try.

Expectations can be vicious things
Casting a mirage, making things appear sugary sweet
Playing tricks on your mind and spinning you in 
You're envisioning your perfect fantasy
Taking that fateful step towards uncertainty. Uncertainty of, the to-be.
Head high and heart full of blissful unrealistic expectations 
You find yourself stumbling in upon...

Nothing.
But emptiness,
And your shattered dreams.
