Cliched?
who seeks the truths that others miss?
their cliched lives of routine bliss
who seeks to find some valid joy
when it never fails to disappoint?
who seeks out others who proclaim
it’s not just me who felt all the blame?
who seeks the knowledge of heart and soul
with no guidance of where to go?
while those have laughed at those who’ve cried
they only avoid the shame they’ve denied
and those that do scorn the sad and the scared
are hiding the heart that they dare not to bare
but those who are numb
are the ones who’ve succumbed
who needs to find solace and calm from within?
who needs to discover the place to begin?
who confides and who tries
just to get shoved aside
who comes up for air
just to be denied?
but still manages to care
for the ones who weren’t there
