Limit yourself to things you know
to something you can understand
don't try to conquer a world
that doesn't want you
you seem to think
you're better than the rest
you try so hard to make sure
I never put your thoughts to test
you seem enamored with me
how can this be?
you don't understand my mind
you don't know why I do what I do
I'm the opposite of you
I don't fit in your life
I don't hold by your knife
your wit your charm your love
I don't accept it aren't affected by it
am I the only one?
is this the reason that you fall for me?
only for the battle there's sure to be?

I don't believe worlds can be conquered but I do believe the unknown is a pretty cool place and we should learn all we can to help keep us feeling alive

I didn't really mean that said person intended to conquer the world.  I just used it as...a form of reference I suppose.   And thank you everyone else.  I should hope that my questions be answered too.
