Self Influence

We all have influences
Those which inspire us
Those which question others
Those which leave us vulnerable
And venerable to the tide
Alone, and afraid
Stuck between our greatest fear
And all that which is unknown
We may reach out
For help, for security
But it's all the same song
Whether we seek love, or pleasure
For vengeance, or satisfaction
It's all for our need to reach out
To each other
We give nameless faces
A picture, and a voice
And we expect them to speak for us
Because we are afraid of doing it ourselves
For all of our fears
The one that reigns supreme
Above all, is unacceptance
To be cast aside, like a broken toy
Because no-one in this world may understand you
Except those you trust most
