Out of all the people
I've been talking to
there's no one who
could fill me
for all have been
spouting meaningless tales
and advises taken from their
own blind perspective
about how life is supposed
to be livedIt's sad but it's my lot
for I do not bed the world
to be understood
because I know it won't
make the least effort toIt's sad but I have been
too jaded—I'm used to it—
I've been talking to my shadow
or my reflection in the mirror
—both of which are me—
as the only way to surviveCall me crazy, call me vile
Call me all the things you wish
upon knowing what you thought
was my predicament
But I'll tell you—it's better
to live a life of solitude in peace
with just yourself
than spend years and eras
shouting into the void
trying to get misguided souls
and immature voices
to understand my languageI've been in that hell
and as I get out of it
I realize—it's better
to talk to my shadow
than be left in the dark
by the fast pace of lifeIt's better to smile
at my own reflection
than endure a lifetime
of disappointed looks
from faceless people
and ugly expectations
—it's better
because I'm free
