Confined

Here i am, i wont pretend.
I sometimes, maybe act like them.
 I make mistakes and think bad thoughts.
I sometimes act on what im taught.
 I mope around in cold dismay,
Longing for the clouds of grey.
 Dreaming of a better life,
Searching for a higher high.
 
 Yet who i am, is far more deep.
An honest, anxious , coward , freak.
 I speak yet always never hear.
Its like their plans are never clear.
I steer away from confrontation.
 Ive gone that route too long.years wasted.
I always speak in song and rhyme
 In my own head im stuck. Confined.
