I WISH I COULD BE SOMEONE ELSE

by The Fly   May 25, 2005


Ugly hair, ugly clothes, I'm just a bum.
All i got is my music, my poetry and my drums.
And nobody can see,
The one i call me,
The one that everyone figures is so dumb.

I try my absolute best to make it through,
But sometimes i just don't know what to do,
I wish i could be,
Someone other than me,
I wish i could be happy too.

But I'm still me, I'm stuck with that,
Wish i could be someone else,
Pray to God, ask my "friends",
I need some assistance, i need some help!
But nothing gets better,
No every things the same,
Don't know where to turn,
Don't know who's to blame,

But all i know,
Is that i want to be,
Someone else.

I'm a good person, or so i try,
Never hurt anyones feelings or told a lie,
But here i still am,
Ignoring all of them,
That laugh at me when i cry.

Ya the pain i go through, guess it's what God planned,
I'm always here by myself, alone here i stand,
And yes I'm still me,
Why must this be?
I wonder as lay down on my bed with a clench fisted hand.

And I'm still me, I'm still stuck with this,
Wish i could be someone else,
Pray to god, and ask my "friends",
I need some assistance, yes i need some help!
But nothing improves,
Every things just the same,
God forbid i have no one,
No one else to blame.

And all i know,
Is that i wish i could be,
Someone else.

I wish i could be someone else.

    Don’t we all...yep I really liked this poem, it was for me a fun read, but likely mainly because it reminded me of something my cousen said to his brother...he always calls him a bum and the whole family just laughs...anyway im straying away from the poem-Its good, it's all good.
