Alive but not living

“Emotions are a sign of weakness”

So I live on in denial

And don’t express what is actually important.

“Romance is cheesy”

So I live my morbid life

And don’t take a single moment to appreciate what I have.

“Ideas are stupid”

So you and I go to coffee shops

While all I really want is just a walk in the park.

“Silence is boring”

So I talk and tell tales of my own design

While all I really want is to sit back and just be with you.

“Excitement is dangerous”

So I live in fear every single day.

I am alive; but am I living?
