More than what meets the eye

In the eyes of a coin, the life is pretty simple 

Sitting in jars filled with pennies and nickels 

Used to infer a trait of indecisiveness 

Often people only really notice their likeness 

So look a little closer and you'll find originality 

Seeking out the details, you will find some personality 

But when they're being flipped 

They all serve the same purpose 

The price they have to pay for existing 

Is being seen as only homogeneous 

 

It's not fair

    So in private, he stands.

    He stands with himself, 

  • The boy in the shadows

    Day and night he awaits his moment,  

    never applauded, never appreciated,  

    never in the spotlight. 

    He longs for a time 

    when he is recognized for his mind,
