To not know if your headed
 in a straight line,
To not know if someone is headed
 straight toward you in kind,
To never be able to see
 what others exclaim,
To be able to shoot
 but never truly aim,
To watch the world go by
 in a blur,
For it not to matter if you're still
 or going 60 miles per hour,
To wish that you had the eyesight
 of average people too,
To wish more that they had the ability
 to see beauty as you do,

To be forced by society
 to depend on people,
To have them damn you
 for not praying under a steeple.

To have to tell them "No"
 when they beg you to look,
To have to explain
 you saw one in a book,
To have to feel the pain
 of getting in people's ways,
To have to know that you'll be this way
 until the end of your days.

To experience these things
 is to be like me,
I'm sure that there are others
 who have a Derelict Dream.
