Anywhere But Here

I feel like everywhere I go I'm being shut out

I'm not wanted

Not cared for

Even though a lot of people tell me it's not true, but it is true

If it wasn't someone would've noticed something was wrong with me & I needed to talk, but no one has, and no one will

I'm just that parasite that keeps hanging onto life, yearning for something more, something worth living for..

But there's nothing

If there was I would've found it

I use to think music was my call, something worth living for, my life's one true purpose

I would sing, play my flute + guitar, write songs & smile

I was happy for a while

But life got in the way & of course no one was happy with my choice

Everyone's always telling me 'do something that makes me happy', but when I decided being a songstress was it, everyone disapproved

From there I went to writing, but as you can see

That hasn't turned out well for me

I've failed here too

No matter how hard I tried

No matter how hard I cried

It didn't work out

And my fake smiles, they're believable enough to prove nothing's wrong, and no one knows me well enough to see through my disguise to discover the truth, and end the lies

Don't get me wrong, I have friends

Some of the best you could ever find, but they have their own problems

I don't need to bother them with mine & I never do

To avoid that I laugh & smile so they don't worry & when they're upset I listen & give the best advice, or so I'm told

I wish for once they'd ask about me and how I'm feeling

I'm not complaining, it's just, I wish that just this one time one of them could see through me

But they're blind & immune

It's not their fault though, they shouldn't have to not be just for me

For someone who: has no purpose, is worthless, dazed, bemused, & in a never ending cycle

I wish someone could tell me what's wrong with me

And I wish I could be anywhere but here
