Going through the empty pages that had potential for life changing stories
The gift was always there but there wat never any opportunities
I see barrels filled with tears forever painted on empty canvases
There was talent there but life robbed the world from those masterpieces
I hear beautiful voices filling the air but they can't be heard anymore
I hear music in the distance, than I hear glass breaking on the floor
So many made it to the door
But ended up on the floor
So much time wasted on what we wanted
So little time on what's needed
I wish I could have read all those untold stories and poems
I wish I could have made it to those painters time and helped them make it home
Or give those musicians a break to share their gifts with the world
Wish I could just capture those moments in a picture with countless words
Wish I could tell the stories that was never heard
But it would've made a good read
Wish I could just open up a portal and travel through time and space
And give those souls from yesterday a warm embrace
I wish I could just get a piece from each of themselves
And share it with the world on their behalf
Cause they are examples of great people who never made it
And to cease every moment and gather courage to just go for it.....
