Lost
I’m away, away from anything
(everything)
I ever casually coveted or cared about
Pretty preppy
Lining the hallways in lipstick
'No-one cares or understands'
I wish I was made of steel
Instead of skin
(permeable)
Feel free to fuck me over
I come from NOWHERE
A town where we know what
each other are thinking,
And we never have to find out
'Shut up, you don’t know me'
You’re a limiting factor
in this equation
One where no-one
(listens to my music)
(reads or writes)
(comprehends why or how)
UNDERSTANDS
(shallow)
You fucking strangers!
Your idiots’ eyes, inconsiderate stares,
casual conversations and
pre-emptive prejudices.
You are here.
I am not.
I am
(inside my head)
Somewhere else.
