Nothing like me

Nothing like me

Plan for tomorrow to be nothing like me;

I only wish I could be nothing like me.

You claim and I claim that you are nothing like me,

But the truth is, we are one when we live together with peace.

I looked into your soul and found my true self;

I want you! I need you! But now I need to be by myself.

I cannot believe how different we are,

When your feelings are so ignorant and our opinions are so far apart.

Razor blade shaves my face

And all you fail to do is look away.

You want to see me make a mistake,

But the only mistake I made was loving you today.

My poetry is the shadow which follows my voice;

I speak to express, but I write to let my feelings out.

The words that I say are all said without choice,

Because poetry is a necessity; every word required; my faith devout.

I know you will never be anything like me,

But that is ok, because I would never want you to be.

I look at you and know you are nothing like me,

So turn the other cheek and turn your back on me and leave.
