Softly.

Don't try and tell me about living.
I'm doing it too. I don't want to learn about it. Unless I'm the one teaching. Listen, because I'm covering my ears tight. And closing my eyes. And feeling more than I ever have. I've never been more alive and you're in the kitchen with the cats. Tierd eyes. Making food you don't eat anyways, letting it sit in the freezer. Good plan. It's frozen now. Put it in the microwave. It's not going to be enough. We'll still taste the cold and know how you spend your time.
Ok. I'm failing a few classes here. I can deal with it. That's what's important. But it's your problem now too. You make it that way and try to place blame. Somethings just happen. I don't want to give an explanation. That takes the thrilling mystery away. We all like a good serving of blissful confusion once in awhile. Honestly. It's not all that bad.
I'm not going to college. I'm not sure I can even spell it. Not that, that's what's important here.
Well of course you can be a first grade teacher. I'm not impressed.
You can be the fucking president of the good ol' U-S-of-A. I don't respect that.
Sorry, but I'm not.
I am going to embrace life. Not through your success, but my own.
You want me to be happy. Ok, watch me. Let me go.
I want the freedom to jump off the moon and tumble gracefully through the night sky. Landing in the rainforest. Bouncing. Water. Open my eyes and for the first time, know they're not my own. I'll be happy.
I'll feed the dog chocolate and ride it through the desert. And keep my eyes hydrated as I become a cactus. It won't hurt anyone but you. And I've never been able to do that.
But I can't help it. I can't help it if I'm the sun and you're the moon. They'll see me and mistake her for you. It's ok though. Take my glory. Take me with you. Let's leave this place. Let's go go go and live.
I want to live. I don't want to put life on hold for some whack system. Those expectations that I've never enjoyed trying to meet. You can call me selfish because I ask for too much. I feel that I'd be asking for what was already there for me, if this wasn't today.
