Fitting In
Out I go on the porch, thinking of you as a bird approaches me
You whisper in my ears and I am full of cheers…
Mirror my reflection and don’t leave me with your depression…
Lean on me, friend – I’ll carry you along the way
Getting carried away in a crowd of beautiful individuals
My mind racing fast and slow like a black Jaguar Racecar
Esteem me as I place the crown on my head…
The royal, rich dreams that I am encountering in my mind has left me with dread
Because…I don’t know how to…how to reach my goals
Can someone help me along the way?
Could a friend come to me someday?
Maybe not at this second…not today
I feel naughty all the way…and the sky is a shade of gray
I lust over you as if you’re the spotlight that’s on me
Who’s getting along with loneliness? Is it not I who will see
Who will see the brightest of days,
The brightest of ways…anyways,
I’m lead astray once more
I was the light of the world, but now I’m darkness to the core
Ignore me not when I am yelling out your name
Hunted down like vulnerable, insignificant, small game
Yet, I seek the positivity that reaches out to me
I breathe in love and breathe out hate
I arrived late with a distraught state
You landed on my lot
You were all that I got
Give me a season and a reason
To overcome the waves of emotion
Soothe me with your words as soft and silky as vanilla lotion
