73 degrees outside

Too sensitive for the overly masculine folks,
Too masculine for the overly sensitive crowd,
Too depressed for the people who stay in the sunshine,
Too happy for the people who can’t step out of the darkness,

Too cultured for the typical college kid,
Too artsy for the proclaimed “cool kids”,
Too open-minded for the older generation,
Too close minded for the younger generation,
Too much liquor intake,
Not enough marijuana exhales,

Too mellow, my kindness gets taken for weakness,
Too much bottling up emotions, I’m turning into an explosive,
Too much confiding in my writing and not in others,
Too much times I found holes in my spine,

Too much fake friends masking themselves,
Too much times I feel alone,
Too much times I wanna go,

I wanna….go away,

To a space I’ve never been before,
One that NASA could never prepare me for,

I wanna….go away,

Like road team walking into a different arena,
Embrace the change of scenery,
Embrace the new faces that don’t judge me by my past mistakes,

I wanna….go away.
