Be myself? There's an idea
Scare everyone away
The ones who sat beside me
Just for today
Someone else? Hmm, I like that
Then people will notice
How cool I can be
Without being out of focus
Be a tree? What? A green thing?
You must be off your head
Sometimes I feel
I'd be better off.....
Free? From pain and misery?
I wish that would be so
I need someone to hold me
Until at last I shall go
