Mr Cellophane

Cellophane,
Mister cellophane,
Should have been my name !!!!
Mister cellophane 'cause you can look right through me,
Walk right by me,
And never know I'm there!

People say it takes more courage to do the right things than make the wrong choices. If that ain’t true them nothing is. I’ve been trying to make the right choices all my life. I’ve tried to be a good guy. You know, someone who’s a friend when you need one. Someone you can trust even in your most embarrassing times. Someone that cares for you when you don’t care about yourself. I’ve tried to be the rock for those who need someone to lean on. A mirror when you need to look at yourself, but are afraid to. A shot of Red Bull when you need that last bit of energy to get you through. I’ve tried to be a lot of things to a lot of people.

The problem with that is, what am I to me. Trying to be all things to everyone has gotten me a few things. Poor, broke and lonely. Being a nice guy, a sweetheart, adorable, a friend, has not gotten me loved. It’s tough being alone in the world trying to make your mark on your own. Trying to be a nice guy just to make the world a better place, but no one makes your world a better place.

I don't know what to do about this. What's the alternative? Should I be someone I'm not? Should I try to be more than what I am? How does that happen? How does it work? Who is it I should become? Who is it I will become? There is a lot of searching this soul has to do. A lot of wondering. A lot of question asking and answering. When will everything change? Will it change for the better? How can I break through this cellophane that covers me from head to toe?

But for now, until then...
