I don’t do everything right, I don’t even come close I just get to life a blessed life Way more fortunate than most I can’t believe the roads I’ve taken Enable me to find myself. I can’t believe how much love I’ve awakened In addition to love that’s been in me since before I could spell. My life is so generous My life is not without pain But I’m lucky enough to be able to think And learn so much and thus, from my suffering, gain. I won’t ever go back to trying to conform I might even abandon the thought of being sane What a great way to avoid all the people I don’t want to speak to, like, not that I’m saying I’m better than them, because I’m truly not But with nice conformers, I tend to get bored, The truth is my favorites so far have bad qualities But I love them for them and I never feel bored And I try to explore them and anyone open Enough to show me what’s happening inside And for people who’s lives have taught them to have caution I understand there are many reasons to hide But before I die, one of my selfish missions Is to go all out and be a total freak And despite the repercussions of loving the weird stuff, I’ll be a magnet for people ***** unique I aspire to help them, aspire to amuse, Aspire to connect, aspire to obtain So many beliefs and opinions from others That there’s no way I won’t be a contradictory freak Opposing viewpoints, I already have many And in some ways, then, I am becoming nothing I want to embrace both sides of many passions And in the passion pit, I’ll come out dressed as something Amorphous, accepting, and hopefully helpful Since I live to serve and I live to entertain And if nothing else, I’ll keep building and building, Overthinking thoughts just to muddle my brain And I’m blessed for a million reasons, ****** for none, No more ****** than the luckiest guy I’m free and I love you and I’m so imperfect And I don’t care, thank you, nothing really to hide

Loving this
I don’t do everything right, I don’t even come close I just get to life a blessed life Way more fortunate than most I can’t believe the roads I’ve taken Enable me to find myself. I can’t believe how much love I’ve awakened In addition to love that’s been in me since before I could spell. My life is so generous My life is not without pain But I’m lucky enough to be able to think And learn so much and thus, from my suffering, gain. I won’t ever go back to trying to conform I might even abandon the thought of being sane What a great way to avoid all the people I don’t want to speak to, like, not that I’m saying I’m better than them, because I’m truly not But with nice conformers, I tend to get bored, The truth is my favorites so far have bad qualities But I love them for them and I never feel bored And I try to explore them and anyone open Enough to show me what’s happening inside And for people who’s lives have taught them to have caution I understand there are many reasons to hide But before I die, one of my selfish missions Is to go all out and be a total freak And despite the repercussions of loving the weird stuff, I’ll be a magnet for people ***** unique I aspire to help them, aspire to amuse, Aspire to connect, aspire to obtain So many beliefs and opinions from others That there’s no way I won’t be a contradictory freak Opposing viewpoints, I already have many And in some ways, then, I am becoming nothing I want to embrace both sides of many passions And in the passion pit, I’ll come out dressed as something Amorphous, accepting, and hopefully helpful Since I live to serve and I live to entertain And if nothing else, I’ll keep building and building, Overthinking thoughts just to muddle my brain And I’m blessed for a million reasons, ****** for none, No more ****** than the luckiest guy I’m free and I love you and I’m so imperfect And I don’t care, thank you, nothing really to hide
