A cloudy mind
A soul seeker
A day dreamer
A wish keeper
Keep yourself quiet
Don’t spill my beans
Reflection if the single light reflecting on your glasses
As you lay in bed and the thoughts overtake your head
Reality fades away and your life is pushed aside
You become something denied by society
Something defiant to the perfect balance between worlds
You become yourself
Crack head
Fake slut
Body builder pinhead
Cant you tell the difference from a fake smile to a real gun?
Rooting for the ones that don’t give a damn
We don’t care how you perceive us
We are not what you make of us
