I don't wanna write about
roses red violets blue
I want to write about
something unique
something new, just
like everyone else, so
they say. Everyone
wants to be different.
There's over 7 billion
people in this world.
Were all merely clones.
Even with this over-
populated planet we
live in, it's just so
funny to me how one
person can feel so alone.
Standing in a crowd,
listening to them all
laugh and carry on
watch as life goes on.
I don't want to be part of
a show, I don't want
fame, but I'll completely
take the blame. I would
like to live my life like
the sun. Gleaming by
day and resting by night,
but always there, safe
and sound to come back
the next day and light
up the world again.
Maybe that's all that
we need in life, some
music, love, and sunshine,
and everyone will be
just fine. Maybe this
persistent loneliness
I try to chase away,
asking why, then maybe
I won't be so shy and
take a bow and blow
all this a kiss goodbye.
