    Default Not Me

    This is a strange little thing. I went to sleep for a few minutes and when I woke up I just wrote this. Again, it's very poemy with no clear structure. I'm open to suggestions about the name:

    Not Me - Copyright © RobberBaron Enterprises 2011

    I'm so tired of being treated like I'm stupid,
    And acting up to make the right people like me,
    I won't waste my breath with explanations,
    You'll never get it

    I wish things weren't so complicated,
    I wish you could just know who I am,
    But there are no words to describe,
    The truth I feel

    When I look at you,
    You seem so shallow,
    All the things you say,
    Like a broken arrow

    They stab me in the back,
    And the poison flows in,
    But nobody else,
    Seems to care

    So I may be in a world of my own,
    But I don't understand what's normal,
    Your expectations slowly kill me,
    You expect what I could never be

    There's a hole inside my heart,
    There's a knife inside my mind,
    And every time you speak,
    It digs closer in

    Not even love can save me,
    From the loneliness I feel,
    I want to be lonely but I really don't,
    I feed off your sympathy

    So instead I open my eyes,
    Pretend that I'm okay,
    Make jokes and laugh and cry inside,
    I go back to being not me
