I am standing here with a smile
Look how my lips are stretched wide
Like the birds in the blue sky
Free from anything that binds
Them to a world that is not even right
But my soul is shackled
By the monsters that do not hide
No matter how hard I try
They stay upright. A victorious smile complacent with my careful demise
We are who we are right?
So why is it that my demons are difficult to sight?
Years had passed with me being contrite
A chance at being accepted is what I desired
Because even though people think of you as a unicorn
It gets lonely in the nights
Being special sometimes becomes a curse and it's impossible to deny
This solitude that I am so fond of
Is becoming a prison...and I am terrified?
Cause even though I am tired and lost
I still hope that I am not too far gone to be impossible to find.
