My sanity My grounding My essence My being My thoughts My hopes My dreams They are all fleeing All that is me And harnessed within Crumpled in my mind Thrown out on a whim For the need to fit in Is something many seek To volunteer all you hold dear Is depressing and meek Do not throw away All that you know For the chance to agree For the oppourntity to please Stand in your convictions On solid foundations With time you will find The right people were worth your patience.
