ordinary

i've gotten out of young,
i am almost old as the cold
that outgrew me

ordinary,
and i don't feel different,
i wanted to feel different,
so i stopped wanting
to feel everything at once,
when it's mostly nothing i should feel
ordinary on different days
waking cold, drinking the cold
i stopped feeling the cold
different on ordinary days,
hollower than the deadest moon,
night dragged on my feet
that stranded mornings,
on the other side of dreams,
i'll never wake from

what's so wrong in being ordinary? hmm... i guess the thing here is that we seek the greater things we can't have. there's nothing wrong to be different in some ways or another, its what's makes us human, we seek change, we seek love... change takes big step, so be different in your own ways... live to be the best of being ordinary, because i am... :) be happy kabayan... your still young...
