Equations

I got so bored.

Equations

Does anyone know what it's like 

to truly have a friend

to not be like me and

unknowingly keeping everyone

at arm's length 

ready to uproot and leave

whenever I need to

to feel like you always must

keep everyone away

and take yourself out of the equation

even though

life is not math

and your world is not poetry

relationships are not information

and people are not words

and they rarely are what they seem

other people have problems

I am not the only one

when I know I cannot enter a 

dream world whenever I want

I am stuck in this 

Plain world with well-spoken beauties

right out of reach 

like always

to wish that everything stayed static 

that you could write

up a whole new life like you always do

or make equation for friends

do not make excuses

I beg your pardon?

Not anymore, I am

out of the equation.

Solid features are cascading through this glorious write. For me there is much I can relate to and understand.
