A Man Of Mind

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I need to take a break from food, I need to lose some excess parts of me I need to change I have to change the way I see I have to love the people in front of me I need to love I have to modify the way I am I have to modify myself For someone else I wish I was something better than this I wish I was a hit, instead I’m just a miss The target vanity I want to see a different picture in the mirror I want to see someone better than me I want to be someone else It’s time to change! I guess it’s time to sell out And stop my screaming It’s strange, the lengths we got to Just to fit in Star sign says he don’t want to talk to me I guess he knows I’ve wasted years on nothing I tried to save life for myself It got me nowhere I’m lost now, Stubborn was the fool The fool who lives alone now I just have to accept, that of this man there’s nothing left Written March 25th, 2002 © on Mar 25 2002 12:49 AM PST   10 • 0
