Big words, little words!
Everything is wrong!
They want small, I want big.
I just can't belong!

This maze of society,
can't find my way out.
They want less, I don't know how.
It makes me want to shout.

I try to be eloquent, try to be good;
they say no and push it away.
I do what I can to show my intelligence
with nothing to show. What a horrible waste!

Sentences, paragraphs.
We cannot agree.
I need time to catch my thoughts
running wild and free.

A void exists between;
a soaring, gaping rife.
My mind's here; yours is here.
Is this you call "life?"

Big words, little words
upon a snow white sheet.
The Word Wars will continue on,
ever to repeat.

Misa: I can't imagine a world without Light!
L: Yes, that would be dark.

I like this because it still conveys emotion while describing a different subject from simple feelings.
