Arrival

When our vision dances, what do you see? a wishful young man trapped? Less than who i am compared to? another freshman with no direction? I have nothing but necessities, a soulmate and my cohorts Creating a third love. now where's that juxtaposition view? Before you pass judgement, ponder this for me: I dig deep for those you claim are insane And you're the one with all that you could want, yet you seem unhappy Proving my parent right again, old chum You are nervous in my presence with good reason And this is why i am half your age yet twice the man that you are And still, i see us equal And you my dear, you are contradiction in human form Study the downfalls of venus and you're always falling down Speak of justice for the similar, yet you generalize the opposing side Find an escape by placing blame Oh no, you couldn't possibly have a twisted train of thought Screaming equality when we are not comparable The difference is, i am myself at all times Can you say the same and mean it? yes, i'm biased I found the perfect one so when i make eye contact with you and say "hello," The only thing you owe me is acknowledgement. i'm seeking nothing else Yet, when others don't turn their heads, you develop a complex Now let me ask you, why is that? Incite personal insight inside. quietly scratching chins Reside in a cocoon of themselves, not thinking about others These are words for those. forcible opinions; Throat cramming a favorite sport Give me your pamphlet and i'll fold it into a backhand using origami Keep it to yourselves. these are words for those. unhappy with outcomes Take it out on yourselves but you never will No matter how much wealth in knowledge you possess Still in poverty with understanding. these are words for those First impressions count? not in my opinion. i've learned to let go Not telling you what to do, just suggesting To all who can relate to what i'm saying, these are words for those I sit by the waterfront gazing at the lights Which remind me of where i was 1/4th of a year ago Here i am, holding on to the cord with the rest of my classmates But all of our teachers are dead or changed, which rearranged our courage Ability for response and the ever-important motivational speeches Which we write for ourselves, they seem to be working It's changed my way of thinking "introducing the new, improved alias with 3/4ths less bitterness than before." I said good-bye to the depression so i could usher in the comfort Let me do my little dance for your approval Smile, clap, and give me praise I've dreamed about this magic moment since my teenage days Yet i might change some things if given a chance I really don't regret anything "live and learn" is how it goes if i'm not mistaken Opportunity keeps knocking on my door I'm lucky i was blessed with supportive parents, a sister, and a brother I'm glad i was swept away from the shore where i was wading knee-high It forced me to swim with all my strength Lucky i was walking on the beach that day Pay attention to the context clues, and stop and smell the roses I catch myself staring off into another world, not seeing what's before me Daydreaming is what helps me think clearly
