Ordinary

Backspace Backspace it's slowly becoming my best friend replacing the one's I go to for help replacing the one's I keep my faith in but then again have I really bothered to keep up with them well less than I should have Some friend am I... Well they all are pretty busy Some are parents, moms and dads some are soon to be newly weds some are off living the dreams we were so determined would come true some are off to college, going forward being who they want to be so where do I fit in Nowhere...regretfully nowhere I've succumb to my disease again and for that I pay the price yet I forgot my wallet so I pay with my legs I have barely set foot out of this house since the day I got my diploma in merry celebration saying I will never return Now I'm wishing for a fish to return a miss of a life I wasted Did that even make sense No it was the only way I could find a rhyme but rhyming isn't for me neither is flying my wings have not yet grown I paced up and down those winding hallways for four years I craved a life of fun and carefree no responsibilities I guess this is my repayment I guess this is my punishment I have received my punishment and my credit card of luck has been shredded and canceled Are you happy now I never was never have been so goodbye I waste in Georgia one more day so goodbye I've spilled all the contents in my head I've spilled all the words I could muster for my inspiration, my motivation it has all fallen away again I've lost it again and don't know where I last put it and without it I'm lost and without it I'm nothing I'm not a wolf with a rose I'm not a prince disguised as a peasant I'm not a hooded silhouette I'm not a ghost nor a phantom in a forgotten opera I'm not a descendant of an ill famed king who's the most like me I'm well I'm just Ordinary
