Living Outside Myself

I longed for a love I’d never had as a kid

The feelings I had… so strong, so intense turned me into a squid

My thoughts, my needs, and my desires left me into isolation

And hopes of love and attention turned me towards desperation

So desperate and hopeless, I was astounded by the separation

The separation from myself, with the person I thought I’d knew

Changed into the person, making me see them in a different view

My heart still wants that good love, Miss Houston had talked about

So virtuous, passionate, and loyal, it’ll make me shout out loud above the clouds

For now, I’ll fly solo among no complaints

The sky’s translucent, sun’s peaking out with no shame

The stars of wonder, insight, and self-assurance really have always been my aim
