Don't cry tears of shame,
you'll never be what they dreamed of
you'll never be the label they portray you as
you'll never meet their expectations

I know your tired of being on stage
under the spotlight
drowning in fits of rage
back and forth, you caged animal
you'll never go far they said
we will see you in 10 years
homeless, helpless, a nowhere dread on society

But why must everyone lie to me
tell me it is now or never to choose tomorrow
why focus on something i can not yet grasp
why try to see through a fogged mask of what might be

My visions go on forever, as far as the eye can see
my words flow endless on and on like the waves of the Baltic sea
unrelenting, yet  sometimes calm, dark yet light
it is all a ******* mystery

Eyes wide open but mind is still foggy
the world is in carnage yet it still spins and twirls
sometime I wonder what is everyone after
what do they live for?

Why focus on me when you can focus on you
why judge my direction when you are lost too
why cloud my perception with what I could be
why just not let me be me
why don't you just worry about you and I will worry about me
I am still wrapped up in youthful folly
driven by what ifs and maybes
Still trying to peel off the skin you made for me
