A Different Disappointment


I wear my pink, yellow and blue like a suit of armour

 Music is a portal to another universe

 I can lie through my teeth but it kills a small part of me

 A social anti-social

 I know exactly what I want, it isn’t a phase mom

 When a storm starts my eyes flood

 The thundering sobs through my room

 Yet it was all for a gigantic yet tiny character in a novel

 Hiding in a cave away from pain and suffering

 Most times hiding isn’t exactly the best idea

 I never try to show what’s underneath the surface

 A bull in a china shop that is my mind

 Never knowing where I’ll go

 Does not matter where I will go as long as I stay true

 Bang boom smash all I need sometimes

 I may be different but I am no success

 Maybe all I will ever be is a different disappointment
