Song: The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
I am sad,
Everyone knows,
Because I can't quite tell where the future goes,
Do I reach my dreams,
Are they all for not,
Should I give up and leave my body to rot,
Can I find happiness where I thought there was none,
Should I turn around and leave,
Or stay instead of run,
All for the question,
'What if I could've won'
But that's the thing, there's always what ifs,
And they're only ever answered if you take the risk,
The risk isn't needed,
I have enough,
I just wanna know if I live to be loved,
Love is a foreign concept to me,
I was raised a misfit,
I was born to be,
Unknown, forgotten, and unable to be seen,
And maybe that's why it's so scary,
To be ignored by my friends ad family,
Maybe that's why I constantly feel damned,
And act super mean so you don't like who I am,
And yes, it's lonely- of course it is,
Trapped inside my head, I'm not emotionless,
In fact I feel torrents of pain,
Loneliness, betrayal, and at what gain?
Not at mine, I can assure,
Tears I won't cry,
And my scars? They don't lie,
But then is it at yours?
No that can't be,
What do you get from listening to me?
I'm an angsty teen who pretends to be a poet,
My words don't have meaning,
If you read them it might show it,
But isn't that what everyone else feels?
When they're practicing a talent through emotional appeal
If they can do it, why can't I?
They should be my motive to try.
