The sound of my voice intensified
Disturbing my parents, who were horrified
To find me awake, in the middle of night
Talking to myself as if I was possessed.
They called me crazy and listened to me in amazement
As I expressed myself to the walls, whom I made my audience without their consent
Trying to figure out why I refused to sleep and chose to disturb them.
I think I heard them laugh, when they couldn't find my audience
But the walls were there, listening, even without their consent
Because they literally have ears.
I clearly expressed myself to my newly found audience
Told them about my dreams and my fears
The reason I maintain a small circle of friends
Is because I'd rather be alone, than go against my boundaries in order to be accepted by people whose lifestyle I sometimes envy, but is definitely not for me.
So I'm better off with myself and people who accept me for me.
In the end, I heard a round of applause within the walls
I was thrilled, they did listen to me
Then I went to bed feeling happy
While my parents thought I was going crazy.
