    I don’t want to stay here

    don’t want to go to the park

    I’m tired and I don’t want time to fill

    I’m tired of politics: things just stay the same

    In a world of possibilities I’m still playing this game



    Want to go to Tuscany and live in Amsterdam

    Don’t want to keep pretending to be happy when I don’t know what I really am

    Up comes the misfortune of others--- well, we’ve all got ours

    Wondering the point of it all, I think ‘why even wonder?’



    Summarizing everything---driving myself mad

    And everyone’s concerns and sympathy push the last button I had

    What to do now when all scenarios are worn

    Well, just put on another face and make it through the week to meet another and another, another, another!



    And once I saw beauty in the world

    true ecstasy within a moment

    but when put up to the test, the makeup faded away

    and that’s why I feel like this today



    Want to go to Tuscany and live in Amsterdam

    Don’t want to keep pretending to be happy when I don’t know what I really am

    Up comes the misfortune of others--- well, we’ve all got ours

    Wondering the point of it all, I think ‘why even wonder?’

    Love this stanza, I'm glad you finished with it. And the flow is excellent. :)
