Why be common when I can be different?

In the hole of the common, fear runs deep,
where the voice of the many stirs us from sleep.
Dress the same, speak without spark,
act like the crowd, it's mediocrity's mark.

Alienated souls, proud in their space,
yet some feel the pull and yearn to escape.
Clarity’s a pain, like islands alone,

Metamorphous

You’re right

3 years ago, I viewed frogs as aliens

Now I wonder whether they’re angels

Months ago, I hated the sound of songbirds

Now I write their songs

I tweet along

Everything I did, I did do

NO DANCE WHERE NO "DRUMS"

INSANE

You asked me to change my mind about asking you to change.

We ran around in circles blind while everything’s the same

We victimized each other, the other always to blame

Over and over again

This love is poisinin

we will never change

We will always be the same

insane

You took my love for granted as I begged for you to want me

We were not ourselves so it was hard for us to...

Fucked Up Lines

I drew something today.

First glance;

it's intricate,

it's how I feel,

it's me.

 

Second glance;

it all shifted.

It's uneven,

it's distasteful,

it's just a pile of fucked up lines.

 

I analyzed this thought and realized that it accurately describes my whole life.

Everything I do,

everything I say,

is what I think fits.

What I think is right.
