Complicated

As a younger kid I wanted to grow up.

As a teenager I still want to grow up.

But why does life have to get so complicated?

All I ever wanted was friends and some love.

I see what happens around me.

It's so real, so why does it feel like a game?

I have feelings; its not like I'm dead inside.

So why can I take the perspective of a game?

In elementary school friend problems were tattlers.

In high school friend problems are mistakes made.

So why does everything have to get so complicated?

All I want is to help those in need of someone dependable.

But sometimes screw ups happen.

I see what happens around me.

It's so real, so why does it feel like a game?

I have feelings; its not like I'm dead inside.

So why can I take the perspective of a game?

Yeah I gravitate to the "underdogs".

I think they should see themselves as awesome dogs.

It's never too late to change. Never too late to pick a new course.

And sometimes it's perfect as is.

I see what happens around me.

It's so real, so why does it feel like a game?

I have feelings; its not like I'm dead inside.

So why can I take the perspective of a game?

It's because sometimes feeling is too much.

Sometimes turning it into mere calculations clears my head.

Sometimes I need a different perspective for clarity.

And sometimes I just need to check out.
