I look at myself now.

And see that I seek no fate

As the brown and green trees laugh in the wind

which have a certain type of taste

Reminds me of the good old days,

when I was so out of date 

I would giggle with the other kids,

but now days I'm just to blank.

I outcast my feelings

to thoughs who cry,

to thoughs who scream and are to shy,

the past can hurt, but dont recoil

because the memories will die

and one day you'll see that I'm just a lonely, cold child.
