they told me
as a child
it's easy
to make friends
it's easy
*to be yourself
it's easy
to be different
yet
as i get older
and older
the more
i realize
they
were
all
*l y i n g.

i think its sad
that as children
we say
we want to be superheroes
or rock stars
or anything better than the life we had
and now
we're older
and maybe
our dreams changed
but we still want that one thing
to have a better life
and we imagine
what its like
to be where our heroes are
and i think
that's truly depressing
