This day is my own
I hope it's my last
On the outside I'm clean
Completely intact
But on the inside I'm broken
Tangled in rags
I wish this were fake
Because it shouldn't be real
I try to be happy
You want me to be
But not anyone else
I just want to be free
Free to be different
Free to change
There's no turning back
I have to stay the same
Go to college
Get a career
Raise a family
Only to die
First as a mortal
And then as a memory
So before I am judged
I want them to know
I didn't want to be bad
I just didn't know
What they expected
I tried not to waste
My time in my space
But I've done no good
And left a bad taste
What is life
But time to try
Only to be forgotten
After you die
