Instigation Of A Friendly War

Instigation Of A Friendly War

Ingressing a new group in my section divide.
For them information and treats was all I could provide.
Forgetting the services they were extracting from me,
their friendship and popularity were the things I would see.

My mind turned atrocious,
as worse as it could be.
For my friends oh so precious!!
a puppet,to repay their friendship fee.

I followed their wide feet toes.
A bodyguard with whom they would defend.
Couldn't last as friends but foes,
until the very end.

My mind still runs in past,
where I danced on their finger tips.
Couldn't break the ropes as fast,
till I cried to my miserably dried lips.

I am left alone Alas!!
In the very empty corner of my class.
In desperate search of the personality my body lacks.
Right next to a row full of their school sacks.

The thoughts of their oppression.
My heart,not wanting to go in depression,
crawled to my parents with complains to be filed.
But their answer was not more than just,
"that is peer pressure my child".

Is it Just Me?

Is it Just Me?




Fire-breathing dragons, in the middle of a town,
Humongous giants, with foreboding frowns,
Unbreakable castles, no matter what hits,
Demons and ghouls and holy spirits

Imagine, imagine is all I do all day
But I've got a question: What do you say?
What I do feels weird right? What do you feel?
Is everyone the same, or is it just me?

I live in my own world, I'm not oblivious though
To the real one; so I know
That it is so broken.
I know this line is clichéd but it is true
Why I am what I am is what I'm going to tell you:
I'm fed up with this world, so I've made my own
Why do I feel like I'm not alone?
'tis not an 'I', but rather a 'We'
No, I don't think that it is just me
.
To make the world interesting, I give it my touch
With just some imagination, I can do much
If the world is a dish, my imagination is the spice
To make it beautiful is my device
It's not me who's weird, I know you can't see
Though I really don't care what you think of me
Maybe its the way I like it to be
I've got my answer, yes it IS just me!
