I'm young
In the Prime of my life
So people tell me
Have FUN
Go out
Break a few hearts
Be. FREE.
But what they don't see
Is that I do want to be FREE
FREE from the heartbreak
FREE from mindless drama
FREE from the obligation to have FUN
Maybe all I want is PEACE.
PEACE is what keeps me alive
I don't want to party
I don't want to break hearts
Why would I do that
Which has been done to me so often?
Why would I force myself
To pretend I'm having FUN
When all I want is someone to LOVE?
At my age LOVE seems confusing
Most see it as far-off
Some see it as nonexistent
Me...
I see it as a necessity
LOVE is that which brings me PEACE
Only with PEACE can I have FUN
So why on Earth am I told to forget it
When it is all I want out of life?
I feel like I have woken from a slumber
And while everyone else still sleeps
I roam the barracks
Searching for another awakened soul
Yet all I find are sleepwalkers
Going through the motions
Deceiving me
And with a little light
I see their eyes too are closed
I know they will awaken someday
They will finally see what I see
But what am I to do
While I wait for others to join me
To catch up with me?
How do I survive in a world
Where I seem to want
What others condemn as a death sentence?
But I'll keep wandering
I'll keep trying
And falling
And getting my heart broken
Because I can't be what my age dictates
I do not want loveless escapades
I want to be FREE.
