Not Trying To Sound Self-Centred
written by Foiazzy06:33 PM 12/18/04Seems like all I do these days is complain
I go on and on about my eternal pain
Even though I know there’s lots of people who have it worse than me
Who don’t even know when their next meal’s going to be
Perfectly innocent people living in constant fear
Compared to their life, my problems are so not severe
I do know it, keep that in mind
I’m not one of those people who is willfully blind
I realize that occasionally I should take a step back
And think about the things my life doesn’t lack
It’s just that I can’t remember what it’s like to feel good
I’ve lived my whole life misunderstood
Never felt like I belonged anywhere
For me a good day is extremely rare
And that’s why I sound a little selfish when I write
But sometimes it’s the only thing that gets me through the night
Picking up a pen and pouring my heart out
For the way I feel it’s the only antidote
My passion, my release, or whatever you’d like to call it
Even though to some people it’s a load of bullshit |
