WHAT I WANT TO BE
I just want to look like the others—
Pierce my nose, let my band loose,
As if nothing bothers.
I just want to be like the others—
Spending all my nights at clubs,
Drinking all my earnings at pubs.
But how can I be like the others,
When my past was quietly spelled out,
And my future clear, without doubt?
Do I have to be like the others?
When I am me, only me,
How can I ever be?
