Who am I?
I look calm but only because I stray from what I hate.
I seem patient but hate waiting around.
I don't stay connected and ignore people when I'm down.
I want to be alone but people just stick around.
I am ignored but I want to be.
I can't sit still because I arrive as anxious as I leave.
I chase empty air and honestly don't care.
I hate people but it's cool, they hate me.
I see through story books and live like characters within them.
I can write poems, stories, eulogies.
I didn't seem like I cared but we're all putting up with snakes.
I remember it all but I want to forget those embarrassing situations.
I wasn't a typical kid but now I know no-one was.
I have a family of seven but people only know of five.
I hate my relatives and wish they'd just go away.
I live to leave and have to relearn to breathe.
I don't share secrets but not just because I don't speak.
I ain't really living but that's life.
I dance but all it is is kicking.
I sing but it sounds like a cat is dying.
I react to be ignored.
I am breathing through hollow tubes.
I say thank-you but when I forget the bitches make me regret.
Honestly, I don't really know who I am.
