Come To Think Of It

Come to think of it
I'm not entirely sure
Where I lost myself

Maybe it was in those 8 hours of classtime
Lost in notes and due dates
Equations and definitions

In beds of strangers or
Old friends who I no longer know the whereabouts of

Was it in love lost and forgotten?
Perhaps words and friendly exchanges
Greetings and goodbyes

Did I lose myself somewhere along those roads driven on late nights
To places with people whose faces I won't ever recall

Did I leave myself behind in books or shows at the cinema?
Lonely coffee shops?
Or crowded concert halls?

Or maybe it was in the ticking of clocks and the counting of time
Waiting for the better times that never came

Come to think of it
I'm not entirely sure I've lost myself
I'm not entirely sure I've ever had myself at all

Hello I don't know how to initiate contact with people. Very much in love, very much a mess. Don't worry, I'd unfollow me too if I could.

Life

So simple a question yet I cannot answer. Why must I have to think logically. Why not it be simple and put into a equation. But no, I have to think outside the box.

Belonging

I want to feel like I belong, Somewhere safe, A feeling that isn't wrong. Warmth is a stranger to me, Never feeling comfortable, Or that I can leave myself be.

Self-Reflection

To not recognise your reflection, Is to lose track of yourself. A confusing mental projection Can be bad for your health. The stranger in the mirror, The shadow on the wall.

New Eyes

Back on your map A bleep on your radar Sign above my head Seen from a far. Whys this only just happened. What has changed now. Why am I suddenly visible. I'm not well endowed. My face is the same.

Roller coaster Teenage Life

It takes courage to grow up and be who you are, Bravery as well which comes straight from your heart. To know that this person is you, It's kind of satisfying as you are no longer looking for clues.

I Don't Know

I dont know why I feel, The way I feel I do, I don't know what is wrong with me, Or why I feel so blue. I don't know what to see. I dont know my belief.

Opuss.

It's not just a place, Not a language or 'type', It sure isn't temporary, And worth all the hype. It's not just a phase, Mom, Not preppy or 'in', It's the sort of society That's there thick or thin.
