I Will Be Okay, I Will Be Alright...

I've been writing for a while…
…call it my Magnum Opus if you will…
…trying to find the right mix of lives…
…to tell the story of our times…

A million thoughts going through my head…
…probably a billion, if I counted…
But none of them stay with me…
…long enough for me to count them…

There's a scene right near the boat yard…
…as they're kissing in the rain…
Fighting their one last fleeting moment…
…vague enough, but too familiar…

What makes us who we are or what we want to be?
Everything I'm into is everything I want to be or am not…
Am I the unrequited lover or the dork without a clue…
…am I slacker from distance or do I have only eyes for you?

I've been writing for a while…
…not getting anywhere at all…
Not sure where I should have started…
…all too afraid to fall…

Sitting beneath the starry walls
I pick an angel in the ceiling…
"What is the reason…?"
…I pray for an answer when I awaken…

My reality is a fantasy
…of which there is no cure…
I think, right now, I'm fine with that…
…As long as my destiny's secure…

Unbreakable

I can't feel the cold of the winter
…or in the restlessness in your voice
The January chill sends no shivers down my spine

I wear long pants in the summer
…and a great big cowboy hat…
My alabaster skin is impervious to your amorous glow

I cannot be cut by razors or glass…
…I cannot be fazed by your glances so crass…
I will never perish, nor drop to a knee…
…An Unbreakable soulman is all I can be…

Hugs can't confine me…
…I can't feel their love…
I take pans from the oven without any gloves…
Kisses are worthless…
…I'd rather feel nothing…
For at least feeling nothing, I'd know nothing was there…

I wonder if this is how Superman felt…
Despite all the powers had on his Earth…
…he was doomed to be alone…
Forced to see everyone he loved die,
Forced to realize he couldn't save everyone…
…no matter how hard he tried

But I have no powers…
I have no shared pain that can be ours.
I'm unbreakable…
…and it makes me impossible to be yours.
