No one ever asked me to do a damn thing. So I'm guessing they never expected too much, But when it came down to how cold the world really was they all knew I would be there to tell them that it wasn't really that hideous, and the fairy tales whispered to their drooping eyes at the tender age of five were all so true.
My name was deliverer.
The stories I would tell would astound even me, and it's funny now, How I want to remember all those wonderful words and write them down. But now they're lost and I can only imagine how great I must have made them all feel.
My name was Saint
Yet for all I did, no one cared to know how isolated I really felt, and no one wanted to help when I was the one lost. My name was unwritten in their mouths because they didn't want to think anyone else could ever have a problem but them.
My name was aggravation.
So from Story Teller to lost prophet, I made a quick transition to feeling an everlasting resentment for youth, and wishing I still had yesterday, to call tomorrow. The world made me grow up and I had to keep telling myself I had a lyrical lullaby hidden somewhere up my sleeves.
My name was average.
A working class hero soon became a self righteous vagrant, and I could no longer get by on my fabricated fairy-tales and depend on my vibrant word painted pictures to push me through the rest of life.
My name was washed up.
With the ink leaking from the pen, I stand in line like the rest of the population and try to make an honest living. But when It comes to signing my identity I am at a loss for what to put. and with the same mind that made those fairy tales come to life for all those blind believers, I couldn't even think of who I was or where I came from.
My name was...
so there it was on that sheet
permanent for the rest of the world to see.
That I had no magic rainbows, I had no never land escape.
I was just a dreamer
and my name was blank for that was what I had become.
A dream.
My name is unwritten
and I'm glad you thought you believed in me.
