One Step Behind
ONE STEP BEHIND
Poem from: Insecure Yet Not Alone (FU)
By: Kiyoshi Tamakashi
(A/N: This is another oldie. Man, it’s so emo XD lawlz XD)
I've always been one step behind others
Laughing, claiming that I AM the leader
That I'm brave, and I'm not scared
But I've lied to myself
I'm not 'strong', and I've never been 'strong'
I'm fragile and I'm human and I'm easily distraught
Broken from the inside out
And I've screamed loudly
And I've cryed
And believed
But it all comes to this 'Me' and the other 'Me'
This 'Me' is stupid, that 'Me' is smart
This 'Me' is afraid, that 'Me' is courageous
This 'Me' is alone, that 'Me' is crowded
This 'Me' is sick, that 'Me' is well
And all this time, I've been in denial
Because I thought this 'Me' is that 'Me'
And that 'Me' is this 'Me', but I'm only kidding myself
Why can't I fix this disease and get 'cleansed'?
I want to be a better person
I want to be the one everyone will depend on
I want to be the one with so many friends
I won't know what to do with myself
"I'm only kidding myself..."
I'm turned around so my back is facing
Everyone else, the 'other's' 'they' 'them'
The one's that tell me I'll never get anywhere
That I'll never do anything with my life
The ones that know who I am
I'm not a man, I'm a coward
I'll always be one step behind them
Who's laughing now?
