Walkin' on the streets of DC
on the East Coast - where I live
you say "what's the problem?"
"what's with this angry kid?"
You dont like the way I walk
or the way I talk,
or the way I swing my hands,
you dont like the words I speak,
or the thoughts I think
and I know you'll never understand.
You know,
on the East Coast we ride until we die
you know
well there's a place inside my mind, yeah
a place you'll never find
there's a place inside my mind
walk this way you know.
And wouldn't it be perfect
if I could sit with you?
and we would change a thing or two?
we'd change a thing or two?
we would change the way you think
we would change the way I think
we cant change the way they think
so we're not changin' anything
you know
on the East Coast we ride until we die
you know
well there's a place inside my mind, yeah
a place you'll never find
there's a place inside my mind
leave today you know
(music)
'cause on the east coast, we ride
until the day we die
well there's a place inside my mind yeah
a place you'll never find
there's a place inside my mind
walk this way
there's a place inside my mind yeah
a place you'll never find
theres a place inside my mind
we leave today
you know
So basically, since nobody reads LJ anymore, I am going to use it as my public/semi-private way of venting. Enjoy.
I think I'm pretty realistic about the fact that I'm not necessarily 'distinguished' or 'the best' at the things I do.
I would also at least like to think that I respect the people around me enough to attempt to work well with them and be somewhat honest when the situation is deserving of it.
What am I definitely honest about is that, I've been entirely screwed over by an antiquated system that has no interest in changing. I frustrate the people around me who operate within this system quite well.
I'm done being the joke of my every day life.
I've said this before but I am at the end of my rope for not being respected in any way, shape or form. I'm done having to pay lip service to an organization that has shown it doesn't really care about me as a person.
I need to get back to the people who actually care about me personally and will work to help me succeed, not continuously ignore my requests for aid.
The next 4 months will be interesting to see what I choose to do.
I'm sick of people taking an oath to help others and then pissing all over it with their actions--I'm definitely including myself in this. I've finally reached the point where I understand I need to be true to myself to attempt to be happy.
