Too tall to know, too small to see. Too impatient, to ever be free. The escape hides, and none will seek. All who wonder, lie too weak. A silver-gold path, to show my way. If only. if only, I knew night from day. A nickle, a dime, either way I've done time, because of my crime, to love too divine. For I, so simple, live a life of regret. For I, so anxiously, tend to forget. "Life is but a dream," they say, and I live in a dream everyday. Now can those who hear my words, understand my thoughts in thirds? That, my friends, is how I see. That, my friends, is how my mind talks to me. It tells me what I wish to hear, and that is what I often fear. Does anyone ever see me there? See me wishing to go somewhere? For I, so awful, wishy-wash, lose focus on reality. For I, so awfully awfully lost, don't know when I am being me. For I, so tall, never know. For I, so small, never see.

Tell Me I'm Wrong
