Something
I want you to be something you can never be;
Something you could never feel, deep inside of me.
I want you to see something; something you could never see.
Something you could never dream,
That’s always been inside of me.
Something someone said,
Stuck in my mind and affected my head.
Something someone should have been,
Fades away with apathy.
Something you will never be,
Is truly into me.
Now all I can do is learn to hate something.
Something or anything; nothing with integrity.
No dislike of apathy, for it has no reaction;
All I hate is all I love, for all it has is what I need.
Passion, reaction, satisfaction;
You used to give me all of these.
But you will never be anything,
When we could have been everything.
We chose to be nothing real.
We could still chose to be something,
If only we could remember how to feel.

Sometimes the something is something and sometimes the something is nothing.
Well written, Aa!
Thank you.
"Invent yourself
And then reinvent yourself.
Don't swim in the same slough.
Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself
And stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.
Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself.
Change your tone and shape so often that they can never categorize you.
Reinvigorate yourself and accept what is,
But only on the terms that you have invented and reinvented.
Be self-taught and reinvent your life because you must;
It is your life and its history and the present belong only to you..."
