Vibes...

The world around me is a frenzy of people who don't understand the person I am…

They ignore me, they judge me, and they call me foolish…

My quests are simple, they find them ridiculous…

They say I need to be conniving…

They laugh at matters I don't find funny, they laugh at me… It hurts when they do…

I am told I must try and fit in or just leave…

I refuse to believe that ideals have no value…

I refuse to ‘cope’ with the devious; I refuse to live this farce…

I love myself… I won't hurt ME…

"I travel to get new identities. And to write about them. It is how kids 'enjoy getting lost'. It reminds me that personality is not solid. In a new land people don't know you, you can become whatever you want!"
