Why do we live in a world
Where happiness is transient?
Why are we forced to "grow up"
And then miss being so innocent?
A few liquid moments
Those instant drops of time
Why not capture them forever
And let the polished memories shine
If knowledge is power
Ignorance is bliss
Never let control
Take away your happiness
The air's less dense here
In this box of mine
I keep being sucked in
To this reality and time

Note: These lines relate to screenplays I've been wanting to write..I posted this at poetry.com, too..The "Liquid moments, and drops of time" analogy was inspired by my SAT test where there was an analogy like drops : fluid is like..and I answered moments : time..
