Isolation and Desolation

When no one talks to you
The more you think there's something wrong with you
But you think, no, that's impossible
Well not really though, a lot'll get you thinking you're unstoppable
That you're not who you really are, but still a star will follow through 
Fly away, another day and keep a gaze just in case 
You make a wish, hopin' it comes true 
in a matter of days, still you, plain old, same ol' pair of shoes 
You keep wearing, try to grow out of'em but you keep stressing 
Feeling like a heaping mess,  
And seen the less of being tested  
Can't fix that with the least bit of Rogain 
for dark grey in those shoulder pains 
From the weight you're shouldering, it's smoldering 
Getting colder, as you get older but soon the motor may 
Kick into gear and you feel interesting as much as May 
And such is great when you feel happy as much as they
