I'm sober all the time now
But I don't want to be
I want to forever remain here
Behind the mask that is my Poker Face
Not one soul can see through
I want to stay a "Diva"
remain here on stage where you can't reach me
So you all you people that try to break me
Will never grasp me
Will never see the frightened and weak child beneath this rough outer shell
Shaking and cold
So timid and feeble
I'm so scared and so cold
All I want, I can never have...
My world is nto sober all the time
No.
It is sober...
Drenched and dipping in monotny
Gray and Black
Colorless
If my world was drunk
If I was drunk
Oh, How I wish and pray I could be
Drunk and High on life
To see the colors and to be dizzy with energy
To loud and ramble on for all the carelessness of life
But no
I'm sober and I am sad
Behind my Poker Face
I'm a Diva
and underneath it all
I'm sober
As sober and colorless as ever
And I am not alone
For I have realized behind my Poker Face, my mask
I am not the only sober one behind this masquerade ball
I am not alone and I never been
Not here
Author notes
This poem I wrote that correlates with the daily and colorless routines of everyday life. Doing the same thing over and over again. And then you long for a joyous and rambounctious, in a sense to be drunk (on life) not wasted in a sense of being truly drunk. My defintion of drunk is obviously related to the poem. Being sober is dull and boring. That is the meaning.
So to all whom have read, I hoped you enjoyed.
