Calibration

I look at the world,
It feels rather strange.
All in shades of gray...

Hello, can you teach me how to be strong?

You constantly cry, only ending up hurt.
I understand, I won't be ever like you,
I'll keep my pain in so it can't be abused.

Hello, can you teach me how to be strong?

You're being mean, but you're still having a lot.
Respects, popularity, force makes you feared,
I got it, I'll always be leader in team.

Hello, can you teach me how to be strong?

You put on facade, focused solely on goal,
Having everything, go for more to then thrive,
I see, I'll mirror you to get that perfect life.


Oh.

I wanted to see
Persons I could admire,
But everything proved to be lie.

Crying makes you dead.
Being mean shines regret.
And even most strong can get pointlessly scared.

I fully behold now, there is no flawlesness,
But I will keep traits of strength to perfect them myself,
I won't repeat weaknesses, learning on theirs,
So in the end I'll be of my own daybreak
