No Pretend
written by IceBound12:35 AM 2/26/05people i know talk of pressure in life
the family, the friends, people in general
i'm no different from the eggshells they walk on
i break, everyday i take
that little extra effort, push passed all of this
in place of pressure to-be, i avoid the inevidible
every step i take, my foot fills the print before me
not wanting this, resisting all i can, i follow...
the outstreatched road with his footprints clear
my fear of becoming, summoning the hate, single tear
falls to the body's souls i've slane, the trust is gone
and i'm to blame... i try and try but to no avail
fitting in is constant test, i'm so out of place
i am the hateful shadow of hope, who to care
they would always say i'd never be shit
like father, like son, the scream in this pit
of despair, i don't share my life, invite
the innocent into my problems, what good
would come of it? if i die, if i should
let it all fall, given up because it's not worth trying
the lying, i'm striving not to be him
now that i've seen the end, i can no longer pretend |
