NINTH SIGHT
one more time please let me breathe
one last time, how can you not see
see me, see you, see how we feel
for the first time i can see
i was holding back for far too long
i'm trying to believe that this is where i belong
it's hard to know what's right, hard to say it's wrong
life's a bitch, trust no-one, that's why i wrote this song
tired of hearing the things you always knew but never talked about
and then understanding your nightmares that you're never without
the musical explosion overtakes you before you can get out
and that's before you get angry and start to scream and shout
you break the rules, break the walls, break your own mind
hate yourself, hate everyone else who ever walked the line
hate that you loved, loved where now you can't stop hating
love that you're free to hate, then you can start forgetting
forget the laughter, forget the pain
forget the way he left you feeling like rain
forget the reasons you counted at night
forget that it was love at ninth sight
can i dance with you, you're a king without a crown
trying to fly but you can't lift off the ground
i'm sorry but not even for you will i clip my wings
we love, we fly, but only one of us will sing

No compromises with yourself.
Just one thing - trying to be "different from everyone else" still has an "everyone else" in the middle of it.
Careful, now.
This is when you choose.
This was extraordinarily simple but well written. Some folks I know love writing poems that may have an ounce or two of meaning in them, but they end up sounding gibberish most of the time. This is very easy to understand, but at the same time it's very deep and your feelings genuinely sound like they're bursting to be heard.But I have a word of advice to pass along too: the world isn't all that tough a place to be. it has its troubles, oh yes, but we just have to look beyond them. Don't go getting all complex...its very simple really. this is all something you'll pass out of in a while, so try and be normal about it. theres nothing to shout or fret over or be angry about. nothing in life deserves all that much of thought.
