The Difference


I feel like a secret of course I can never be truly incognito but I've learned how to blend in well the girl I drank with last night really is enthusiastic about life the boss really wants to go far in business the child really wants to grow old the television really wants to kill us all but the people watching really are desperately bored well I have nothing to hide but many people, places & things to hide from plus it's hard to hide the fact that I would like to burn everything and start all over the secret is: I'm no poet but most poets aren't I'm just less of the other things so here I am at least I am not like the rest if you want to read about beautiful things go and find them for yourself
