Look at all those eager hands
reaching for a piece of the pie.
I've been patient,
I've been polite,
and when it was my turn to bite,
That big pie was gone.
Mommy, look what I did in school today!
They show-and-tell,
I hide and cry.
Why do I feel so out of place
among those of equal interest?
Why do they all have names on the screen
and tools in their hands,
and here I am desparite
for a grasp on anything.
I'm afraid I'm clueless.
I swear I sprinted for the bus,
but there it goes again without me.
Every free pass I win over,
another hot-spot kicks me out.
I guess you can't have everything,
but I'd like a bit of something
special.
I don't feel well today
and it began when I got dressed.
I don't know what brings it on,
my head must be damanged,
my eyes swelled,
because I can't understand
what I see anymore.
I'm uncomfortable in the skin I'm in;
the shape,
the place,
the direction I'm going.
Tonight I'm going to history;
walking back into a memory
and for whatever reason,
I'm dreading it.
I don't feel right.
I'm like Pluto;
a part of something great once
and now an outcast,
something about me doesn't fit
their criteria.
I swear ever since that day
nothing's been the same.
I want to escape to the Castle Arroyo;
you heard me,
that place that used to scream
and bite.
The walls are down
and the scenery's always beautiful now.
That's where I want to be.
Well, no...
I guess where I really want to be,
What I really want to be,
is comfortable, happy,
goal-driven me.
