Funny how the government
Have tried to capture me
On a little piece of card
All stamped and bluish-green.
It's tells me where I came from,
Tells me my name
But it doesn't tell me who I am
Surely that's the aim of the game?
It doesn't tell my favourite colour,
Of my sweetheart down the road,
My favourite sweets, the date, the time
And where I broke my collar bone,
It doesn't tell how I love art,
Or want to dance like Fred Astair,
It doesn't say how I love jazz
Or how I love the cool night air,
It doesn't say I hate brussels sprouts
Or my favourite pair of shoes,
This is vital information
They can't just pick and choose.
They've written down everything
They think they need to see
But on my identity card
They've failed to identify me.

I Hate....
I hate how people judge you on how you look/dress. I hate how names can be so important. I hate how if you like twilight suddenly all the harry potter fans despise you.

Go.
I run with the winds and wish to fly. To soar up with the birds into the sky. I wish to say what's on my mind. And for all people to be kind. Where everyone is golden and happy.

Close To Paradise
I live in a place that's close to paradise. We get all the beauty, but we still have the vice. Many who visit, feel the need to remain. They love the sleaze but for the beauty they'll not abstain.
