Smiling wide,
Talking polite.
Standing tall,
In the ball.

His eyes drift,
And the world shifts.
His eyes got caught,
By the princess's train of thought.
                                            
                                                            The princess caught him peeking,
                                                                ­     Her dazzling eyes gleaming.
                                                       ­                          Looked away she did,
                                                            ­        Blushing as red as a little kid.

                                                           ­         She hoped he was a dreamer,
                                                        ­         For she wanted him to lead her
                                                             ­                          In her nightmares.
                                                              Ke­eping her safe from the stares.

Life can be tough.
That’s just how it goes.
Sometimes it’s enough
to drag you through lows.

Sometimes all you know
is pain and its sting.
Sometimes life will throw
just about anything.

It’s all for your good.
But it won’t seem that way.
It’s all understood
as a plan rotten day.

Looking back you will see
the gem hell will give.
But for now it will be
just a crap way to live.

"Aw, man,
I wish I could be like them."
But be careful what you wish for.
They may seem all happy and perfect,
Shining bright like the stars.
But what kind of scars
Do they hide behind all those smiles?

Fudge adults!
For setting high expectations,
For their kids who are trying their best!
For making us think we are not enough,
When really we are.

For making us think that we aren't perfect,
When in reality no one is.
For comparing us,
Making us feel not worthy
Of their expectations.

For asking us to be something they wish for,
An amazing kid to brag about.
Those expectations,
Weigh us down.
Too much, too much.
Could you at least lighten the load?

We're kids for crying out loud!
Not adults like you are.
I'm tired of what you think we should be,
When I'm older,
I'm gonna break free.
