I mean to apologize, wholeheartedly and from the pit of my being
There are a lot of things I've done here that lack real meaning
I know you can't see beyond the curse words and violent reactions
That's just the way I developed, using my past as dirt to bury the hatchet
Unacceptable, is the word that comes to mind
When I ponder our interactions that leave me lonelier each time
I don't get how we let things go so far south
How human beings can look at one another and let such hateful things seep out from their mouths
If I had one wish right before I died
It'd be that everyone here on earth could take a deeper look inside
And see that I want to help every single person I can
But the reality of life interferes with all my plans
And if I was better at handling my fate
I'd break with these selfish traditions and learn to escape
And finally set out to do the world some good
But you have to learn to love yourself like you should
And then you can pursue your dreams of saving the world
Though they look at me like I'm some foolish little girl
With dreams of unicorns and fairies floating in my head
When in reality I'd like to see all the world's children fed
I'd like to be there when we actually achieve peace
Instead of wondering if this $125 jacket would look better in fleece
Its trivial the way most of my peers exist
Is it wrong that it irks me and causes me to raise a fist
And say that I won't participate or adjust to the norms
Its not me! In any way, shape, or form.
