"Would Rather Be Me"

June 5, 2023

I look to my left

I look to my right

Hundreds of people

Partying into the night

I fake a smile

I grab people’s hands

But I look to the sky

To far away lands

I feel out of place

I fake these connections

It drains me a lot

Everyone following directions

I see money and status

Competing for more

Out doing each other

But what’s all this for ?

Once we get here

Once we get there

We aren’t ever satisfied

We barely even care

What are we chasing ?

Power and greed?

Numbing ourselves

Over stimulating our need

I sit by myself

Take a deep breath

For its better to be alone

Than live a superficial death
