We all tell stories
Of ourselves
To ourselves
We all expect miracles
Everyday we get onto the
Manic show-off bus
We all pet fairies
In our back-yard
Where we water golden lilies with silver dew
We all sing carols
Every night and pray
The next day to be a Christmas
We all know ourselves
Too well enough
To love ourselves, ever
We all want someone
To know us
And love us better, than us
We all know
That we dream
With eyes wide open
We all know
We will perish
Otherwise, thereafter
We all tell stories
Breathe silent epics
We all try to know
Ourselves
And we all fail
Everyday
And thus
We write poems!

Very fine poem.'
We all want someone
To know us
And love us better'-yes,we expect more love from others,but don't care how much love we give them.
'We all know
We will perish'-but forget it.
'We all try to know
Ourselves
And we all fail
Everyday'-why we fail? Perhaps we don't know the right path to know ourselves.
With love®ds.
