someday I just might

by seussscat - Aquarius

Lately I find myself wondering why
 I do all the things I do everyday
 Why I smile and hug when I see my friends
 Why I chat and laugh as we go our own ways
 What I do I bring to these peoples lives?
 And do I even cross their thoughts once I've said goodbye
 Do they wonder about the days ahead
 And feel if I weren't there that they'd miss me
 I mean I know we talk and laugh away the time
 But is that all it is passing away time
 This could sound selfish
 All I'm thinking about is myself
 But this self-doubt lives within us all
 And cannot be continually ignored
 What would they do if I jumped out this window
 Or threw this computer on the floor
 What would the people passing by think
 As I plummeted to the ground
 Would they gasp in horror
 Would they hurl in shock
 Would they even notice
 As I lay twisted on the ground
 Would they think what made her do it
 Surely nothing can be that bad
 And they'd probably be right
 Another teenager committing a selfish act
 All to be heard through the cry's of the world
 Now my mind hasn't always worked this way
 Or at least that's what I think
 And I'm trying to get back to how I felt before
 But I can't remember how that was anymore
 And as these thoughts are flashing through my mind
 I think to myself of leaving this all behind
 Of going somewhere where I can be free
 To think and do and be whatever I please
 And I know you'd be wondering why I did this so
 And I'd tell you that I just had to go
 To live things that are different
 To go places I've never seen
 To mix in these cultures
 And meet people with their dreams
 But I'm here at this moment
 Trying to make it through these weeks
 Trying to keep up this optimism
 And keep going like the rest
 But sometimes I can't take it
 And I'm too tired to fight
 So I lay here on this bed
 Thinking someday I just might.
