very young I tried to be loved
by everyone thank you life
for scissoring that naivete
into a stiff wind
I also wanted to grow up
quickly adults seemed so
together smarter in control
and yes happier
turned out everyone wears a mask
what they pretend to be
covers the face
of who they really are
it took a very long time
for me to accept myself
how I fit in and understand
the rules of the social game
so now I like to break them
as often as I can
remove my disguise
and reveal my true character
I’m a kid looking for a buddy
willing to stop what they’re doing
and throw a few spitballs at life
