Awake and Dreaming
By Carrie-ko
-------------------

~:Wishful Thinking:~

If blood was water
If the ground were sky
If bullets were petals
If pain was pleasure
If screams were laughter
If frowns were upside-down
If fate was undecided
If enemies were friends
If hate was love
If war was peace
If you were alive
Then my smile would always be true

~:Inhuman:~

We all falter
We all cry
We all grieve
We all destroy
We all hurt
We all bleed
We all feel
We all sin
We are all human
But he seems different
Why?

~:Not Perfect:~

I'm not a beauty queen
I'm not a sight for sore eyes
I'm not a happily married woman
I'm not filthy rich
I'm not always sweet and soft-eyed
I'm not wearing fancy designer clothes
I don't have the best job in the world
I don't have a boyfriend
I'm not perfect
But aren't I enough for him?

~:Child:~

I have mischevious habits
I still bite my nails sometimes
I forget my toothbrush for trips
I never got math in school
I still have a tendency to bug my superiors
I still whine and cry when I don't get my way
I still cry over spilt pudding
I still want to make a daisy chain to put in my hair
I still act like a child
But I am not an idiot.
I am not a childish brat.
I'm just me.

~:Change:~

Rain washes
Fire flickers
Wind blows
Sand shifts
Lightning crackles
Cities fall
Old ones grow blind
Men die
Children grow
Women swell
Babies cry
Graves form
Cliffs carve
Rivers evolve
Clouds form
Shadows shift
Angels fall
And yet I stay the same
Will I change as well?
