Searching for wisdom on bookmarks and Snapple lids

I find myself falling short

And in my search for happiness

I think I'm loosing myself

But people still look at me

As if I'm still the same

They pass me by on the streets

And they still don't know my name

I wish I could be as simple

As they all think I am

But no one knows what images lay

Deep within my mind

And it is there I paint their picture

A picture they will never see

And under the picture I place a simple saying

Something I read in a fortune cookie

For as I here sit in my lonely room

With collection is spread around me

Full of bookmarks, Snapple caps and fortune cookies

All just waiting to be read

I realize that is not where true wisdom lies

And I laugh at all those who search

For it's not in the saying that the wisdom lies

But in the creativity behind them
