Bouncing On The Moon

When minds wander during English class you get something like this. Came from an idea between my bestie and me.

This life we lead

Is little more than a lie

The sun simply reflects

And the moon doesn’t shine

 

The rings in space

Are an illusion of rock

And they just spin

Like a timeless clock

 

Waves topple over

Grains of lost sand

No longer cared for

By this false land

 

The earth we walk on

Is no more than dirt

Dropped there forever

Like a lost skirt

 

We bounce around

Lost in this time

That is not yours

And is not mine

 

We jump off the moon

And land among the stars

But those bright lights

Aren’t even ours

 

We are forced to see

Every detail of life

But none of it exists

Except for the strife

 

God says he can save us

In all of his scriptures

But upon this Earth

Is only fake pictures

 

The smiles on faces

And the hope inside eyes

Are simply more disguises

And pretty little lies

 

We go on hoping

It gets better from here

And maybe it will

If only we make it there

 

Bouncing on the moon

A sport so easy to enjoy

For a lost little girl

And a broken hearted boy

 

Find joy in the lies

Find pain in the truth

That’s the way we live

When we are all youth
