Look at me
I’m only a body fit
For games
that will never last
My head is only good
For reflecting a soccer ball
But that guy over there
Nothing gets past him
No problem escapes him brain
No discussion misses him answers
If only I could be him
I am
Surrounded by people
Suffocated by voices
Suppressed by the role cast.
I’m most lonely
in this crowded room
These people only like an object
They only want this idea
Who cares for me?
No one
One day
they will all leave
One day
this will all be over
One day
things will be better
But look at that kid
No one
becomes Brutus to her
Peace and silence
Not drowning in this pageant
If only I could be her
A mask
Decorated over the years
Jewels and mirrors
Sequins and sparkles
My mask has become
An elaborate design
My mask has been
my loyal friend
Hiding
The bruises and scars The bruises and scars
Hiding the truth of my life
Now look at that girl over there
The net is thick below her
She could never fall
She could never get burned
If only I could be her
