Price

Who am I?
In the grand scheme
of things so often
left unseen

What purpose
do your two faces serve
when everything is on the line
and life throws another curve

Do you stand
and sacrifice
your heart and soul
for another's life

Am I worth
more than the another
because they have
less things to offer

Are they
to be cast down
left to seek acceptance 
that cannot be found

Or should their value
instead be tested
through actions, virtue
and the time invested

on Kindness and hope
the act of selfless giving
looking past the ideals of price
and learning the value in living

Utopia

In my dreamy world
There are people filled with light
darkness left among the shadows
never to escape the night

Its filled with dreamy lives
led with beauty and charm
Where the love of Romeo
brought Juliet no harm

They all have dreamy hopes
that become truth instead of remaining dreams
No one ever knowing
the hurt disappointment brings

The real world
is filled with hurt covered with a lie
a place where
evil and pain never seems to die

Real lives each affecting the next
with no way for hate to be contained
to selfish to see
those who have been pained

They have real hopes
dashed out by a harsh reality
knowing that their dreams
may never be
