red fish blue fish old fish new fish

Why?
why is it so hard to create, but so easy to destroy?
five minutes of hate can ruin a lifetime of joy
like a kid on christmas with the wrong toy
but an instant of joy is neverending
perfect moment life comprehending
understanding why the caged bird sings
learning why men give women rings
gaining the peace that happiness brings

Me?
people always think they know me
think they can predict who i'll be
all I want to do is subvert expectation
be different from a feeble misconception
But its funny how shit works out
how those things that you always doubt
turn out to be what its really about
and mistaken identities
end up being who we see
self made in others eyes'
born from denying lies
