Self-Trust Is All But a Dream

Hello everyone! There is going to be a 2nd part to Entertainment real soon. Stay tuned! Thanks:)

Don’t be discouraged
Don’t be doubtful 
Don’t be disheartened 
Be happy, not mad
Be humble, not proud
Be quiet, not loud 
Be merciful, not condemning 
Be cheerful, not anxious 
Be glad, not envious 

Hello 
Hello 
I feel insecure
I see your halo
A cloud of a windy blow 

I’m feeling brilliant 
Can’t say I’m excellent
Perhaps, insignificant 
I can’t even say a simple hello to my friends behind me 
I’m just an outlandish, bittersweet introvert all over again
Spreading my mental wings of set-me-free

Be my grace…
Fading like your face…
Caught without a trace

Hello 
How have you been?
I’ve seen the unseen
Oh wait…
I hesitate…

I can’t breathe…
I’m at ease…

My mind is a castle on a train
So high and so low…can’t refrain
From driving y’all insane…
All to numb the lucky pain
Inside me…
Inside you…

However, fear is far behind me
Hope and cheer is what I want and need
I need to nourish it like my itty-bitty seed
I feel like fainting a five hundred million miles from you
I feel like tainting your fingers with my blood of residue 

I am a quiet cello in your sleep
I am that crippled fiend…A creep…
Only to find light on the other side of the sun…

I’m somewhat like an extrovert
Extending my mind’s flimsy, flowery frame
Pulling out envy's weed…what’s your name?
I hurt like an expert, wearing your blue shirt 


Basically, my nightmare became a reality 
Frankly, my eyes shower and my gaze is but a coward
Mind control got me in its web of lies…hardly…
Lately, my numb cranium is releasing dangerous defeat…I’m flying and soaring like a blue bird…

I’m an empty page…
Okay, I am enraged by being in this cage
Of my skin…of your distress…
Of your sin…you’re just trying to impress 

Strangely, I feel old age creep on me –
Awkward 

I can trust in my illuminating instincts 
It’s misfortunate that I’m so nervous 
I see wondrous winks and chinks  
Extremely battered…
Nothing else matters…
Brain-scattered…
I hear silence and its purrs 

Yeah, my bro…my wild bro 
He is the only friend I’ll be hanging out with
For the rest of my life though
I always mix up reality and fantasy and myth

wow... this is very thought-provoking.. "I can’t even say a simple hello to my friends behind me I’m just an outlandish, bittersweet introvert all over again Spreading my mental wings of set-me-free" I like that one, but there are many. You have a unique style.
