If you give me orders I obey
If you tell me sweet things I'm weak
Put on a pretty show
Scrape clean solid thoughts
Into a distant stare

I see
I want
I yearn
I get confused
I'm stuck
I get mad
Different and numb

Keep on believeing
Through a mental expansion
And curses from mom and dad
Bless'em both
Slow isn't no

Don't bother with a name
It won't be long
Quick and dead
Fought harder than before
And picked up a profit

I'm just a little waxy
Melted and molded to your liking
Soft and warm
Easily squeezed
The brightness to trickle to the floor

He has made everything beautiful in its own time.  -Ecclesiastes 3:11

I especially loved the last four lines!
Great wording in this one, Green!
And this...
"And curses from mom and dad
Bless'em both
Slow isn't no"
Oh, how I've been there!

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm

Craig,

sounds to me as if you are shedding your skin . . .

and ahh you described ME perfectly here:

I see
I want
I yearn
I get confused
I'm stuck
I get mad
Different and numb

Maybe I am shedding skin.  A different kind of skin.  Thats a poem.  My skin isn't changing but my enviroment is about to change so my skin will also be different only because it will be seen by different surroundings.
