Poetic Antic {Page 59}

Wild

I heard the rumors you spread out there
Didn't think you had it in you, I swear
All this time I felt pity for you, I cared
Now I'm tired of your games, I'm spent

There are lots of reasons why I shouldn't stay
There are more reasons that urged me to leave
I really don't know what I should do
I know there's only one solution, I'm scared

I have things to tell you, you might want to listen
Just for a moment won't stop and shut it
Open your eyes, your heart, and your soul
Take a moment, tell me what you see in me

The room keeps quiet, and you are silent
This only means that I have not been accepted
I know this would happen, I felt it and feared it
But there's nothing like experiencing rejection in the flesh

No I'm not in a hurry to leave, though I truly abhor this
I've got nothing to worry over about anymore
I have been freed once more of this wretchedness
I shed no tears for fearful things and frightful monsters

I spread a rumor about your love, my dear
And how you broke my dreams, you see
Lots of times I've done good things
A stain on my record that's a price I'm willing to pay

You see, no one can say that I have not tried
Tried my best, my worst, and my everthing
All for the sake of this opportunity
Sorry you couldn't understand it properly

The world I live in, you live in too
I may not know who I am or what I want to be
But I know what I'm not and what I don't want to be
It's not near, but it's coming to me

This world is big and I'm small compared to it
My voice may be weak, but I speak up for myself just the same
You may not hear, nor care, nor know
Listen up space aliens, I'm back it's my show
