Question Existing


Question Existing What is this feeling? This chaos of mixed emotions This clashing of whats wrong With what's right there is very little... You're 18 Legally a grown man Almost out of school Baring the mentality of a wise man And d*mn near fully developed as a human being And I, at 14, am nothing but a child Still baring the mind of a child Still wrapped under the wings of a mother and father just like a child Trying to escape the inescapable Yearning to be free.... And d*mn near tired of being me... Why me? Existing Question What am I to you? It seems as if, again, I am playing the fool Believing the things you say Not believing the things you do And still there is so much left to prove And I... Don't... Know what else to do... Do I end this, bury these feelings, and move on? Forget you, forget us, forget this, and press on? Or do I stay... And pray for the day when you understand Hope that you're real when you say you're my man... Hold on to your words when you say you won't cheat... Hold back the tears on the nights we don't speak... Question Existing Is this love? Existing Question What is... Us?
