It's Hard to Explain
My mind storms like a cyclone
About the thoughts unknown
I have a hard time sharing
Because people lost the ability of caring
Unless your someone important to me
But even then it seems
Like there thoughts seem to flee
Like there somewhere off in distant dreams
And here I am sitting with the thoughts in my head
With words still left unsaid
I was once told I had a weird smile
So unless I’m with people important
I lay dormant
Because the world can seem hostile
People wonder why I have a dull expression
But they don’t know that sometime after I was ten
I found it hard to show passion
Because emotions weren’t for men
These are the words I heard
Like the squawking of a bird
And I took those words to heart
Because something in side was torn apart
However lately
I’ve been thinking daily
That the world can be divided into two categories
The things that matter and the things that don’t
Take that advice as an allegory
But even if you won’t
I did
From a character named Cid
He pulled off quite the performance
But in his act
He taught me self importance
The impact
Brought shatter
To an unseen domain
Showing that I matter
It’s hard to explain
