Here I am, in a room full of people.
All are familiar faces, I see them everyday.
There are some I've known longer
and a few that I know better.
But none of them are friends,
though they could easily be.
They are nice, they are fun, not different from those I call my friends
But I can't find it in me to make that effort, to bridge that gap and let the world in.
They have tried to draw me out.
Some have given up, some are still trying.
I want to help but its getting more difficult everyday.
Life is at cross-roads; its time to decide.
And suddenly I have to be all grown up.
Wasn't it yesterday that I was still a child?
Still allowed to be wilful and spoilt?
I know what I have to do.
But is it what I want?
What do I really want?
Most wishes are fantasies, daydreams - just wishful thinking.
I hope you are not one of them,
I hope you are my reality.
The thoughts just flow randomly,
There is no beginning and no end,
I'm caught in the current,
I need to get out. NOW!
