I live in a world where I don't fit in,

When I talk to people in my generation-I feel like I've lived in a den,

I don't know how to relate to people that don't care,

Sometimes it feels like I'm being a grizzly bear,

Rather than someone fun like the fair,

I promise I'm not boring-I am one who is full of dares,

But does anyone stop and really think about friendships,

It can be tough like war on a battleship,

Some people are so salty like chips,

Then cover it up with dip,

I'm not one to front,

I just wonder what life would be like if everyone put effort into people,

Deep down it seems like I'm the steeple,

Connecting on a deeper level is better than wasting time,

I may not be a dime,

But I'll take you in as mine,

And help you shine,

I am nothing more than a vine,

Sadly-not many are,

Perhaps a lot express so,

Don't be a crow,

My friend...grow,

The process may be slow,

We were once all soft like dough,

What happened? Was it all a show?

Or did I truly not know...

Each person I have met-I love so deeply,

I'm not talking cheaply,

A love I am pursuing is one Jesus has for us all,

Oh the pressure of having to be a doll,

Yet being myself is such a toll,

Carry on, just don't become a sushi roll,

I always feel set a part,

As if I am hung on a board & thrown at by a dart,

I know we all have hearts,

Why can't we all just use it like every other body part,

This isn't complex like art, 

I can draw it out on a chart,

But for now...think deeper, feel deeper, & many will change the direction of there cart.
