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
