Before The Dawn

Endless monotony

Everything the norm

My soul burns to rise up

To keep from trying to conform

Right now life's boring

Nothing to occupy my mind

Nothing new to taste

Nothing new to find

Way down on the social ladder

Not even sure if my friends like me

Spirit making a desperate revolt

Spirit longing to be free

I am tougher than I appear

I shall stand strong

Someday my goal will be in reach

And maybe I'll know where I belong

Or am I not supposed to know this

Perhaps no one's meant to fit in

Though the world recoils from innocence

And people tell me what a crime it is to sin

The world is confusing

But all is the same

In everything we do

There's something to lose and gain

Yet what do we lose

How are we better

There is no reason

To let any of it matter

No one can define important

Those who try are fools

And none stop to wonder

At all our pointless rules

Our society's corrupted

Our sanity is gone

Soon all innocence will follow

It shall vanish before the dawn
