I'm Not Living In The Real World

Can this song be my anthem?

Because honestly,

I'm beginning to refuse this reality.

It's like I can't stomach it and

Just continually barf it up.

The Real World is a hard pill to swallow.

I don't want to end up as everything

I've been trained to be.

Suburban.

Normal in every sense of the word.

I don't want to "settle".

And I won't lie.

I know exactly what I what

As of now.

Everyday I'm able to snatch another piece

Of what I want in my reality and I store it

With the others, a jigsaw puzzle to be put together

At a later date.

I've always thought,

I don't know what I want my life to be like,

And then came the day I stopped denying everything in my head,

And accepted that I had a damn clear idea.

I think we all do, really.

Some master plan playing out in our minds everyday.

Some people really need to learn to live their dream.

Because if we let dreams fall to the wayside,

What's dictating our lives?

Money? That's petty and cold.

Society? "They're hypocrites so fuck them too."

It sounds cliche and old hat,

But live the dream,

Right?

Life is just a really sorry-looking, half-eaten, cheap box of chocolates if you

Don't.

So,

I say,

Despite what people tell you,

What your own mind my tell you.

Do what you damn well please.

Live your life to suit you

And nobody else.

Selfish? Possibly,

But sometimes you've got to realize,

It's your life

You're wasting away doing someone's else's bidding.
