I'm Not Me



“I can’t sleep.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna sleep.
But everyone else in asleep.
And the lights are out”.

“I can’t speak.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna speak.
But everyone else is conversing.
Spilling their minds out”.

“I can’t work.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna work.
But everyone else is busy.
Burning the midnight oil”.

“I can’t eat.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna eat.
But everyone else is eating.
And that’s all they do”.

“I can’t learn.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna learn.
But everyone else is learning.
Things they’ll never need to”.

“I can’t feel
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna feel.
But everyone else is feelin’,
Things even they don’t want to”.

“I can’t calculate.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna calculate.
But everyone else is analyzing,
Figures they don’t need to”.

“I can’t compose.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna compose.
But everyone else is furnishing,
A melody or two”.

“I can’t be free.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna be free.
But everyone else has the freedom,
To be some kind of visionary”.

“I can’t escape.
Well the truth is,
I don’t wanna escape.
But everyone else is leaving,
This godforsaken mystery”.

“I’m not me.
I’m you.
You seem lost.
So I am too”.

  1. I love reading and seeing your work, but I can barely read the text. It is quite upsetting. Is there any way that you could make the shade just a bit more bright as to contrast with the black background better? (Constructive criticism mixed with hopeful wishes)

  2. @skylarmacrae, first of all, thank you! I'm glad that you like my work. :) I'm always open to new ideas and suggestions and I appreciate the constructive criticism. I will take care of the font color, very soon. Hopefully, that'll make the text easier to read. It's great to know someone out there's actually reading my posts. Also, I'm a big fan of your work too. Very creative stuff. :) Thanks, again. :)
