"Isn't everyone pretending they're alright?"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuD-Pw77Gmc&hd=1


This song has so much truth to it. Especially the line, "Even if we look so strong, We're all about to fall." We all act like we're strong so maybe others won't see just how broken we are underneath. Or because it's a long formed habit from childhood. Having to raise yourself because your parents or guardians were not able to. Maybe it's because of the standard that society  places on all of us today. Be strong or you'll get eaten up. Show your true emotions and your just put a target on your back. We're constantly trying to balance that we forget to pay attention to the most important fact. That God is the only who can truly balance this madness, and that He can see exactly what is going on. We have so much hurt and troubles in our lives that we can't balance it properly. The result is a painful reminder of how unqualified we are to try to do God's job.

We're all here, all looked down upon. 
The curators, the sleepers,
they say. Wasting their lives away.
The sleepers, the painters,
Vividly creating unthought
wonders. Seeing what cannot be possibly
seen. The writers, the musicians,
saying what most are too afraid to say.
Feeling what most others are too afraid
to feel. Spinning and telling of untold horrors that all feel.
All looked down upon. Wasting talent, they say.
Never fully realizing of the dangers that lurk 
within each one.
All bringing life where there was none before.
Telling of the wonders that surround.
Beautiful things, horrible things. 
Things that are there but not seen.
Spinning beautiful webs of fantasies. 
The dreamers, the sleepers.
The curators the painters,
The writers, the musicians.
All unknowingly giving insight
to the world unseen.
