The Boy Who Turned

Everyday I feel the world through my body,
So I have grown the fallacy that I am plural.
The man inside, the others see as the boy outdoor.

I want to know how it feels to be one. One with my own self, one with world out there.
How do I stitch the two when they have grown so far apart. I want to know.

The life I lead is so selfish,
I make turns based
only on my own advances.
But what do I see? I see a boy who is uncertain. I see the boy who has been lead to dream of equality, he wants to reach it but is fearful when he knows what he is, so what to do?

He realises that he can be equal, equally inferior.

I do not satisfy myself with such reason so I take a hard left bank.
I wonder if I love myself but why would I do so?
The boy loves his toys, his family, his friends, the clothes...all of the new trends.
His needs are superior to all others.

But is he deserving of his own love?

And he finds out; No!

And slowly the man has conceived, that he loves the life in himself.
The life that is his own, and so the man knows that the very life he lives; others too know.
The outer world is then not in friction with the internal self anymore.
It has been one when the man finds himself become the symptom of life, what he had been for all his eternal now.
And then he has the thought that in being selfish he is thinking above himself,
Thinking for other.

The well versed paradox, thought with reason.

For the boy who is now in one with the man.
He sings and rocks,
Being selfish is being selfless.

Allowing words to manipulate the/ meaning of my thought, always gets to me/ do I ever think O' yu will wonder/ but one day for heavens yu will see me./ I only mean what I feel. Honesty. I'm very weak, too scared have I been of trying./ What worth is it all, wen soon we could be dying./ old misery let yu sneak upon me/ old wishful thinking let yu drown not feed.

Small Girl, Tall World.

Sometimes I feel isolated, I'm so on my own. The world is moving quickly, swift. Yet I am all alone. Everybody's on fast forward, So in tune, in sync.

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.

I Wanna Be

I wanna be a lot of things, Some girly, some weird. I wanna be a lot of things, But not something that's feared. I wanna be a ballet dancer, Strutting gracefully upon a stage.

Every Last Thing

Wanna be noticed. Wanna be heard. Wanna be myself. Yet still with the birds. Wanna go somewhere new. Wanna say hi. Wanna return to my old self. Not this one who's so shy. Wanna travel the world.

Being A 'Heather'.

She browses on the Internet, To find a little more, For when she looks upon her name, The subject's rather sore. She's never really liked her name, Not catchy, cute or cool...

Hide And Weep

I want to disappear. From staring faces. I want to vanish. Leaving life's traces. Under my rock. I want to crawl. Into a safe haven. I want to fall. The pressures. I cannot cope. It's suffocating.
