christmas

things arent what they used to be.
friends gone. businesses dissapated.
im left standing a changed perason.
the world i began to understand
the less you knew about me
the more i know, the less i understand.
what never makes sense is
i know what i can do and what i can change
but theres always some unaccountable factor.
we make the opportunity enabled to us
but how much of the opportunity is in our hands
to determine the outcome.
if i have the abilities to obtain a job
the company still needs to hire me.
if i like a girl and can show her the world,
the girl still needs to like me,
the girl still needs to want to see the world.
the blind squirrel is still a blind squirrel
no matter what you do, they still cant see.
i cant point the diection, hold your hand and show you the way
but it is still you who needs to walk through the door.

everything isnt what it seems, or is it.
maybe its in black and white
but we being us, add color
we make the simple more complex
like innovators, we change.
maybe the simple things in life
but we change our minds back and forth
to justify our choice.
anyone can influence anyone, but is it justified.
half the things we do are wants
the other half are needs.
and for some reason, our wants exceed our needs.

theres always a choice, but which is needed and which is wanted.
