Tag: Someone Different

I will try my hardest

And that’s the hardest that I can

To be who I have been for you

To help you be someone different

And I’m sure you’ll be confused

And I won’t hold it against you

But I am taking off 

This rusty armor

Tonight

You will be impatient

And I’ll fake patience for a lifetime

For as long as I can be your friend

There will be a secret hidden

I will not apologize 

I will probably not remember

When you understand

I’ll be someone different

I did not live

Like my parents lived before

Or how their parents did before them

Or their parents before them

I found it hard

To be comfortable in my own skin and

I didn’t find much joy in anything

So you have to be different

The legend goes unchanged

The dirt, the air, the burning

The stale waters of a river, they say

A dust than never settles

Made of all these things you

Can’t be all that different

So when you feel alone one day

I hope you learned to listen

I did not live

Like my parents lived before

Or how their parents did before them

Or their parents before them

I found it hard

To be comfortable in my own skin and

I didn’t find much joy in anything

So you have to be different
