more than ourselves : we are

why
are we so open to tell our feelings
but not
about what the real problem is


is it that on the surface we just want attention


or deep down to we really want to be understood
or is that the last thing we want


some one to know too much about who we
really are 
when we dont even know


all we know is
what we like & what we tell everyone that we dont


feeding on the social buzz


leaning on every fake smile


fueling the fire of a public life
dousing the flames of individuality


hoping that some how it'll all be real
when we're just
feeding the facade of


fake friends
taking love out of context 
out of
heart


living for the words that just fall out of our mouths
& are sent out before we even thought about
anyone anyone else
but our selves


who are we


that we want things here & now that
we're willing to sacrifice truth & honesty
& true originality
to meet a demand for what we want


who are we
who are we becoming ?


look around
this is our generation


we can always change it


we can become trustworthy individuals 


& those people who just need 
to reveal the pains of their 
inner self 
waiting to come into the light 


can


& we can all start 
to live 


honestly 
&
truthfully 
to the best of our abilities 


for something more than ourselves
