'It's sad, so sad, it's a sad sad situation. And it's getting more and more absurd.'
Do you think that it is a sad thing, that there may not be anyone in the world who knows the real you. Yes, the real you. Not the one that you present to the world everyday and may not even be the one that you reveal to a few close people. But the REAL YOU. The 'you' that shows up when you are alone, when you are hurting, when you are thinking thoughts that you can't reveal to anyone at all. The 'you' that only you know, from the deepest depths of your being.
A square peg does not fit into a round hole. Do you sometimes feel that you are like a fish out of water, that you don't fit in. That no matter how hard you try, you can't find your place in this world because you are trying to be someone you are not. And being someone you are not takes up so much of your energy, your effort that you can't even remember who you really are.
And sometimes, you really want to catch the wave, to go with the flow. But yet, how can you flow when you are ice and you have to be water to flow? You can only float and hope that you are able to keep up. All the while you are trying to keep up, you are melting, losing your self bit by bit.
So, to quote an excellent poet Jeremy from his excellent poem, 'Can I?'
'Can I just be me? Can I just be free?'
'That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight.......'
