I've Got the Answers like I Have a Soul

By no one at all

i'm typing
like i've got answers
and
screaming like i know what to say.
i walk with purpose
like i know where i'm going.
i look strangers in the eye
and
defy them to say
anything to me.

[i think they know i'll spew venom if they do]

now i'm thinking like
i've ever had a brilliant thought,
maybe i will if i just keep
on
tryin'
i'm trying like i've succeeded
before
and this is just another thing
i've got to get through.



i'm staring at you as if you can't see right through me...

[you are just as alone as i am]
