my little hole in wisconsin

0 posted 2003-07-22 11:17 PM



why do I sit here and take the fall
if you don't care, why should I call
waste my time on empty hopes
fairytale endings, and frog-prince dopes

nothing is really as it seems
life can't be filled with empty dreams
so I'll just sit here like the rest
so who cares if I'm doing my best

as long as I look happy to be
in my own little world, with noone but me
to keep me company on a cold dark night
something about me just "isn't right"

or at least that's what I heard them say
but I don't really care to play
the happy princess with her princely dope
just sitting here without hope

and knowing that I'll never be
what everyone expects of me
so what's the use in having hope
sitting here, grasping at ropes
that won't get me where I wanna be

when will I be accepted for me?

Painful and promising. Show them all, make them accept you for what you are. Never lie down, never give...never surrender! Ohh this piece inspires me. Thank You, very well done.

Very nice. Don't ever let what anyone says get you down. Often times, they don't know half of what they're talking about. Great write.
