I'm so incapable
Why can't I be unshakable
I don't understand
Why I can't handle the world's
Reasonable demands
I should work on
Building a better me
But getting overwhelmed
My specialty
Confidence and the point
I am always missing
Imaginings of being a success
Need dismissing
How should I look
Where could I go
What would I say
To justify the choices
That I make every day
Maybe, there's more than one path
To find where you belong
So when our routes aren't identical
It doesn't mean I'm wrong
My only real strengths
They lie outside the realm of usefulness
My little kingdom it's a mess
Under tyrannic rule of hopelessness
When our priorities
Do not align
It feels like we are in a race
And I'm so far behind
How should I look
Where would I go
What could I say
To justify the choices
That I make every day
Maybe there's more than one path
To find where you belong
So when our routes aren't identical
It doesn't mean I'm wrong
Irrelevant, forgettable, nothing
Of worth, the older I'm getting
Clash with the backdrop
The wrong scene
(It's too bad you'll never find your place)
Don't know the moves
To their routine
(Step back or they'll laugh in your face)
Everyone's predetermined
Future like a decree
Sentencing me to ridicule
If I do not agree
How do I look
Where have I been
What must be said
To end your scrutiny
Go criticize yourself instead
How should I look
Where would I go
What could I say
To justify the choices
That I make every day
Maybe there's more than one path
To find where you belong
So when our routes aren't identical
It doesn't mean I'm wrong
