Pushing People

The days are blending It's like I'm living a dream The sun is shining But not a single bird screams The nights are longer It's like they're part of my day A little darker Else I think I will stay Sometimes people tell me that I'm a little too shy Sometimes I think I need them if i'll ever get by Too often I am searching for a friend in the dark Another pair of hands that can brighten my spark But they're not coming It's like I push them away Yet I'm not caring I still smile each day And every heartbeat Escalates my good mood These people dancing Right now they don't seem so crude Sometimes mother tells me I'm a little too soft Sometimes father tells me I don't act very oft But mostly I am thinking I just need a new song Something sweet and bouncy that'll move me along So now it's singing At the top of our lungs With each new ringing We create with our tongues I don't care now I just need to be me No matter how long I can wait patiently Too often I am searching for a friend in the dark Another pair of hands that can brighten my spark Now that I've found them I'm a little insane It seems a little weird to have them calling my name

A little bit of insanity exists in every man, but a very few can utilize the benefit of that. Beautifully done. Loved always, bl
