Revelations

Look at them as they hide their nervousness behind a single smile.
A beautiful figure worried by the untaught ways of socialisation.
Who's to know who should engage first, a third person?
If we could know what each other's thinking, to be honest in our feelings.

How can you say you're not loved when no one tells you?
You just assume, but remember this, I'll love you when you feel there's no one left!
For I love all creatures, and I hope that in time you'll realise that!
And that love, although can stand in our way, it'll definitely see us through.

I see her; I wonder if she sees me in the same way?
Because I see an angel, something substantial, something god delivered.
When will she say to me the things I need to know?
Will she say 'I love you, and I need you, to focus, to function!'?

But no, for that is life, it's hard and it's a mighty challenge.
With no one to tell us how it's done, once again it's a test, as is life.
I am walking blind, with no one on Earth telling me what to do!
And it's not because they don't wish to, it's because they can't.

Another walks past me, glances over and smiles, does she like me?
But after that, no more. What happened? Is she ignoring me?
Am I paranoid? Such as life is, maybe I should approach her?
Maybe I should tell her how I feel? And gamble with humiliation or love as a prize?

My friend regularly talked to me about his problems, and I knew what it was like.
For how I know no one can tell you what or how to do things.
You'll have to learn it yourself. Although I've been in this life a short time,
I feel like I've been in it for millennia. Has it been so? Wisdom?

I see a queer man, a bit slow and considered a social reject.
I don't wish to end up like him; I'd rather death that eternal loneliness.
How do you get like that? I don't think my friends will be like that.
Do they think the same way? Do we get rid of the man to prevent these thoughts?

A difficult thing for me to talk about, 'What do I know?'
What could I know with limited wisdom? All but black when you're there.
Is there a red light or a white light, and which do I have to go to?
God and Jesus, please guide me to the one of which I deserve.

Amen
