I wish I was the same as most I've come across
It's demanding being different, it's a cross
I wish I could just easily lie in their face
that I love them yet in my Heart they have no place
I wish I could turn off my humanity
for I hear our species is free until it's needed by humanity
I wish I could lightly promise to walk the extra mile
I wish I could be both angry and still hold a smile
I wish I could quickly forget how much I care
how often they promised they'll always be there
I wish I could just ignore their betrayal
and do the same rather than hurt being loyal
I wish I could find a sword of treachery to stub their back
to laugh with them and abandon them in the dark
I wish I could treat them the same
without a single grain of guilt and shame
I wish I was like them but sadly I'm different
I struggle to find the spot and seal every dent
before it's become the rift that tears us apart
and no matter how wrongly they
treat me I happily hold them at Heart
I believe their lies ignoring caution from their eyes
I see the best in people in the face of the worst
Faith and great hope midst their raised dust
and love them unconditionally like it's a must
I still ignore their glares of smoking disgust
I wish I was different but I'll always be my person
I wish I could dissolve in their fatal fashion.
