Ah life...and here we are again, only 22. Still drifting along in an oblivious state of life. Lost in the crowds of fake faces. Smiling smiles that don't belong to me. Finding it harder to play polite. I often wish I could sit with the caged bird and ask him why he sings. I would like to know. So much has changed and yet so much remains the same. I blame myself and no one else. I am responsible for my own life, my own dreams, why do I continue to neglect them?
I find my self digging deeper into a world of complications, trying to read a language I can barely grasp. I'm looking for something, though Im never sure what. Myself perhaps? That bright shiny thing that seems to get locked away so often. I'm afraid of so much, and tired of acting fearless. I tried, and now I'm exhausted, too tired to regenerate myself. I don't want to look past these walls, yet I crave nothing more then to taste that warmth again. I refuse to go back, but I'm losing sight of what it was I had done before. Left from right, my obligations are to myself only, that was my promise of 07, and I was happy, I was alive, I was expressive and free.
I don't want to be alone, I never want to feel empty again, I never want to drink from anything less then one's soul, but I'm trapped. I'm homeless and agitated, scratching at the confinements of my own mind. My sick fucked up mind. It will never let me rest, never let me settle. Don't let me crack, don't let me break, don't let me look back. Eyes forward, deep breathes, focus, relax, it will be ok. You're ok. You'll survive, you'll be stronger in the end. This is far from the worst.
