I do not want to live the American Dream
Of unfulfilling consumerism
And chastising whispers content in ways
Which have been declared as the norm
No, I would like to live
The dream of my own
And no one is going
To stop me from reaching
The destinations around
The globe

I feel like a ghost walking around unseen
in the backdrops of these other happy lives
I feel like I'm trapped in a ravine
in a darkness that never leaves
