I wish I could be so naive
So free from everything that surrounds me
And to be full of whimsy
But everytime they pray
Their greed and lust fills my mind
Making it impossible to see through their fog
How can I take care of myself
When everyone else needs me by beckon and call
I fall to my knees
Like your servant or underling
You’re on such a high pedestal
Despite your inability to nurse your own wounds
I can’t help but feel Unimportant to you
Just a bucket to be refilled and beaten
Until it can’t hold anymore booze
Filled with nooks and crannies that leave to
Breathing broken holes
That are so easily patched
To be hid from your eyes
So you don’t go out and buy something easier to utilize
I wish I could be seen
By others not just you or me
Seen as more than another object
Or at least an object worth something
I can’t help but feel on another pedestal
Though I’m rotting from inside
I must see myself as otherworldly
To believe in all your lies
To take in all of your plights
To breathe with all your smoke in the air
To return to you at night
To forgive you
To envy you
To want to be you
I’m fine I promise
Don’t worry about it
One day we’ll both learn to live
