All I see
Words flowing through my head
What has been said
Today
Words in which I play
Not knowing what to say
In a crowd
Their talking so loud
My words disappear
Maybe it is my fear
I wish I understood
Wish I could
Change, I do not know if I would
I watch as life passes me by
Sometimes I cry
I was told if I would at least try
I would never fail
Life must be my jail
Standing here
Trying not to tremble in fear
All the people so near
Passing me by
Giving me the eye
I know I must look out of place
In this world I face
Everywhere I go I am the stranger
Hope they do not think I am a danger
Easy to see
In me
The wild and free
Lost when around my own kind
Once again that little kid stuck in rewind
Every word said
Stuck in my head
Filling me with dread
Fighting to be free
From all the words I see
Stuck floating in my brain
I think made me insane
Writing everything down
So in the words I do not drown
Get me out
They seem to shout
Write so much
They make me seem out of touch
Maybe I write to much
But it is all have to get myself free
From all the words I see
So from the world I hide
So many times I tried
To be a part
To have peace in my heart
But I see
I am never going to be
A part or you
I see this as true
What is one to do
Arrange and write down each word
And hope someday they are heard
There I go
Just so you know
I am just passing by
Like the sun in the sky
Looking for me
In all I see
I am just a part of the wild and free
