Running From Myself, That Boy, and others

Running From Myself

I've tried to run away
From who I really am
I have tried
Lord, I have.

You can see it in other writings
From the past
From the ways I've acted

I've found no matter what
I keep coming back
Because its so hard to hide
From yourself
I know because I've tried
Lord, I have.

I've tried to leave poetry
But its a part of me
I've tried not to care
But I do.
I've tried to be more like everyone else
But I'm not.
I've tried not to try
To run away anymore
I have discovered that its to no avail.

I am looking for myself
I think I'm almost found
Because I stopped running away
Stopped being a concious clown

You'll just have to accept me
Because this is the end of the game
You'll just have to accept me
I am tired of pretending
Lord, I am.

That Boy (For Shawn)

That boy
I see him everyday
Though he tries to hide it away
I know that that boy is crying inside

That boy
He has so many dreams
He can't reach them, in his mind it seems
That boy's emotionally dying everyday

I just want to reach out to him
Tell him it's OK
But he's untouchable to me
That's the way he'd rather stay

That boy
Deserves his love one day
And until she comes his way
That boy will be forever sad...

I wish that I could reach him, but I can't

I'm a modern day hippie
In my idealistic world
I call for peace and love
And no one understands

I listen to the music
I hang on every word
Wondering if we can fill
The dream that many have heard

Wasn't it John Lennon who asked
For all the world to live life in peace
What happened to that dream?
Can we still imagine it now?

Newborn grass
Around toes in the soft, cool grass
Be one with the world
Find yourself
Concentration lost for a moment
Yet nothing ever seemed so clear

 

Where's the cream Filling?

 

huh? ::is confused::
