ive got limited time to pen this note
and i want it to be quaint
and i was going to say something clever
but i forget what it was that i wanted to say
about how much ive been wanting
no...
needing an opportunity as this
for its situations like these
that i become the person that i yearn to be
and its sad
as someone once told me long ago
-youre too influenced by other people-
and the new agers would say its absorbing others energies
and the punks would call it selling out to the masses
and the freaks wouldnt say anything at all
but i say that its important to understand the difference
between being influenced and swayed
and experiencing others while being true to yourself
and i hope that through all this angst and anxiety
that i can stay true to i while showing you the best of me
and if i get swayed by you
well then...
there are worse ways to go than that i guess.
