Misanthrope
For the rain which have never been shy
Its strange to be this stubborn , this dry
Is it a defense mechanism? A lie ?
Or is it just who I've become? or am i just high?
Its not that I don't feel anymore
Its not that I count my blessings and forget my shortcomings... I do keep a score...
But now I aint that curious about humans no more
Now I know that there is nothing new in that store
So now I prefer not to water those plants anymore
Its not that I've given up on humanity, just that before giving all that energy
I just want to be a little bit sure
That this time there will be resonance
I know that there is no guarantee , I don't even expect an insurance
Because these are flawed humans afterall
But I wanna be sure that they will be there to hold me when I'll fall
But there is so much of fog, not easy to transcend
Its difficult to trust, to make a fox-hole friend
When you step out of school , fake friendship is a trend
Moreover I have my own insecurities to attend
For me 'fitting in' is hard to pretend
So now I'd rather curse you on your face
Or just ignore you and let you chase
And I am always in that phase
Where I want freedom from this rat race
This phase of mind is not implied but chosen
You can call me misanthrope but I am actually frozen
