Excuse me

Excuse me

Excuse me for being me
Being the unwanted thought
The endless feeling that eats away your mind
Deeply entering the most inner
Excuse me for saying what you wanted to say
Screaming out your hidden thoughts
Your stashed away emotions
With my stretched out moans
Making sounds that resemble messages
Ringing in your ears
Then I burn your tongue
Causing you to recite me
Repeating my mistakes in your words
Excuse me for dancing in your eyes
Luring you to move to my rhythms
As I become your envied persona
Who you want to be but can't since your trapped
Working to survive so that one day you can hope to be me
Excuse me most of all for being you
The you, you don't see
You, you tend to reject
But you that you know I'm here
Stuck in your mind
Eating at your conscious
Telling you to be more
Excuse me for pointing you in the direction
You desire to be in
But don't blame me for not being me
Blame you for staying who you know your not
