A Confession

February 4, 2015

This uncontrolable jelousy 

Builds up deep inside of me

people say they're jealous of me

they keep telling me 

that im handsome enough to be in magazines

and that i speak so confidently 

Even tell me how comfortably the feel around me 

But i cant see the resaon why im postively seen

as a beacon of happy go lucky creativity 

when really my art stems from a dark place

i look in the mirror and see a sad face

I dont undestand my existence 

I sold my soul to social competence

Im extremely sad

Really im sorry sack 

A plastic bag of black

painted to look glad 

but i get so mad

Just because im so sad

I dress up in the latest Fad 

But im just hiding

Sociatal law abiding

but inside im crying 

I wish i could be flying 

off to some different plane of reality 

But now im getting off point 

And some how it proves my point

Im a dark person 

Mentally and Physically 

But even thought i confess Im sad 

these gray rain clouds still hang heavily 

I just want to be a good guy 

But i might have to tell my gril of a year and half 

good bye

But i cant possibly stand to see her cry 

so does that mean I still care

I just wish i knew the right path 

I dont want her to feel bad

Because Im already so sad

And if i hurt her Ill be mad 

and right now she seems so glad

But im still jealous

Because I just want the things other couples got
