Wish.

I feel like I'm expected to meet the World's expectations for everything and I just don't. I don't like playing by the rules, but that seems to make me an outcast. Why can't we all just be the person we want to be, the person we were MEANT to be without being judged? How come nothing I ever do or think is ever 'right'? Will it ever be? I hate this.

Why aren't I normal? Why don't I want to be?
So many questions without anywhere to find an answer. I wish there was a world where none of this even mattered. A world that was simple, and non-judgmental. A world where I could be me.

Is that too much to ask? That will obviously never happen. So the real question is, what then will I do with my life?

I really don't want to follow the "proper" social conventions. Why should I? Is there not anybody else out there that feels the same way or understands how I feel? Cause I sure don't.

It's all too confusing. My wish is just to leave here so I could be part of another world. A world that gets me, and where I can finally be happy. There's got to be something other than this out there..

I would give anything to be happy.

I have no personality. I can become whatever you want me to be. Mold me, shape me, Whatever you desire. I can be water, soil, or fire. If you need support, I'll be your own cheerleader.

The Stranger Known As You

They say "You," I say what. They repeat, "yes, You" I say "You who?" So They check my vital signs And say, You are alive.

The Inner Me

There's a better man in me. Fighting to come out. He doesn't like what others see. A vision of hate and doubt. He's the one with all the joy. He's the one that laughs.

I'm far from perfect, but I'm also far from being the man I portray. I'm not difficult, but I'm far from simple.

What Are You?

Sometimes I hit a wall. It can be any time of the day. I can be at a café, hanging out with friends, paying my bills or any mundane task. It doesn't matter.
