To be or not to be. That is the question.

Truly a tragedy in the mind a young man, not merely fantasy but here.

I find myself rehearsing the same lines, asking the same question, over and over,

not till it is answered but until it sounds right.

I don’t want to be happy anymore I just want to sound right.

I don’t want to think anymore i just want the words to sound right

Sometimes I spend so much time in the mirror I start to forget who I really am.

I’m tired of portraying the same character, using words someone else has given me, feeling things  that I don’t want.

I don’t want to be someone else I just want my words to sound right.
