Should I try to fit in or not?
Yeah! I tried the rebel way
Fell in the moat
tried to swim and stay afloat
Why do castles have to be impervious to most?
Maybe I'll wear a tailcoat,
sip tea and talk of hunting sport
and hopefully hide the fact that I
know nothing about the court.
Better still, I'll build my own,
difference is there will be no moat.
Just a cosy sign that says
welcome one and all,
hang up your coat and let's talk.
Now,maybe you didn't guess
but the castle is mere euphemism
for a time closer to home
(yea, the one we're lucky enough to
live in)
The one where seven billion people
living are lonely.
Pass by an inch and yet don't know me.
Where try as I might, I could never know everybody.
Where strive as I might, not everybody will like me.
Where something will always be empty.
And someone will always be missing.
So this one question I ask of you
Should I try to fit in or let it be?
