Oh How I Wish It Could Be

If I was not my self
And you were someone else
I'd say so much to you
And I'd tell you the truth
Of as to whom I am
And as to who I want to be
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see?
I'm stuck at the bottom of the 
ocean
No one can get to me
Unless they try 
Unless they figure out how
To lure me out 
I stay hidden
Unfound by you
I'd tell you my life story
If you'd listen 
I'd give you my heart
If you'd take it
But there's no point in trying
Because it seems to me
You don't really care
You have your own future
And as do I
Our lives will never enter twine 
As you push me away
You may not see it
But it's all I see

Interesting poem, light. I know how it feels to be pushed off the plank. Skat
