It’s in your pocket
No it’s in your bag
It’s on the bed
No it’s in your parents house
It’s on the lips of the crowds
No its hidden in the wardrobe
Its somewhere in the past
Actually its here in the present
I think it moved a little too loud
Into the future
The girls gossip about it
The boys stare at it
Women go looking for it
Men call it silence
What are we actually talking about
Everyone’s babbling
Everyone’s not hearing
If there was a little silence would it be too much to ask
Let’s take a step back and puzzle it out
Are you okay?
Do you know?
Is it in the news
Must i brush my hair to hide it
Is it broken
Are we still looking
Tell the truth,
no body knows what it is
Take a step back,
Breathe in, breathe out
Do you see it now glaring back at you
Through the mirror
Tears washed away and a tired
Face
Just breathe and look at it
…………………………………….
The mystery is you,
we’ve solved the little mystery
It’s all been you,
Paper taped and glued
No, its not that
Memories and lessons
It’s actually not broken
Its just human
Angel wings and a Godly soul
And some human emotion
To water the days it counts
Nobody knows the real you
They get the fragments of the truth
I hope you know you
At the end of the day,
you are not one of them
running around
Trying to solve the little mystery
