That Guy

There is a place that a kid like me should keep himself in.
I need to avoid people trying to drag me into a world of sin.
I look back at my life and I wonder why I tried so hard to fit in,
because its inevitable for a nobody like me in this game of life to win.
I've been caught up in this life full of tears and emotion.
I been walking in the same path moving with the same unique motion.
I am at the point of life where I find myself creating a new potion,
focusing on reinventing myself so I can fulfill a new notion.
I walk all day, everyday, in this world facing the truth about reality,
I want to see there is good in people but my mom thinks I been blinded by society.
I don't like being upset so I try my best to be happy,
and when I am happy sometimes I come off as a little yappy.
People get mad at me because they feel like I think nobody is better than me
but that isn't the case I just choose to live the life of the person that I want to be.
I am the guy that I know can be perceived "differently"
One day I know for sure I will be happy and complete.
I have to stay humble and stop reminiscing on the past,
Stay focused on my future I want to live and avoid being harassed.
I was an outcast with class who finally got mad turning bad because I look back at a love life that made me depressingly sad.
When I write I do my best to speak my mind,
Well I guess that is how the root of life gets at one point of time.
I am unique, creative and I am an overly open guy,
a guy who wants to be loved and wants someone to be there by his side,
a guy who wants love to give him a second try,
a guy who wants love but feels like his love will always be denied,
A guy who looks at his life and asks himself why does he try.
A guy who has been classified, set aside wondering if his self-worth is qualified
A guy who feels bad for people who have turned to suicide
Sometimes I need to laugh & dont want to have to be serious
sometimes I want to be straight forward & not have to be mysterious.
Sometimes I feel like I need to drink away all of my pain,
All of these mixed emotions make me feel like I am going insane.
Life shouldnt be taken lightly its not a game,
I feel my heart blowing up into flames.
Everyone faces their days of mistakes
And one thing you should never do is feel ashamed.
