What They Seem

The oceans look so still
So calm, so serene
But beneath its surface lies
Over half of the world’s life

The sand looks like
One continuous line
But it’s really billions of pieces
Of shattered shell and rock

So, you see my dear
Things aren’t always
What they seem

I appear so together
So in control of things
But in my head is chaos
I’m crumbling apart more everyday

You think that I am happy
I’m doing fine without you
But I still cry myself to sleep
And keep your picture on my desk

So you see, dear
Things aren’t always
What they seem

  4. you’re breaking rule #4!! you’re breaking rule #4!! (if anyone adjusted their blogs because of my silly “rules,” i think i would have to laugh in pity…)

  5. you’re supposed to know me so well

    but if you did

    would it change the way you look at me

    and the way you say i’m beautiful

    that you love me

    that i’m the greatest friend you’ve ever had

    that this is your new girlfriend

    and we’ll all be great friends.

    i understand completely what you mean.

    pinnalta ajan tuulten kuljeteltavissa,
    sisällä suuria salaisuuksia.
    -Tuntematon

    And the translation:

    I’m like the ocean —
    the surface traveling with the winds of time,
    beneath great secrets.
