Blur
there's a guilt in this place that's hard to shake
maybe I'm not who you think I am
maybe I'm desensetized or hardened by battle
maybe I'm not strong, perhaps I'm immune
maybe I'm not brave, just frozed in the face of the onslaught
maybe I'm not special, lucky at best
maybe I've not earned my health, but fought it
maybe I'm not extraordinary, truly not valiant
what if I'm desperately normal
what if I'm half wild abandon, half breathlessly mortal
perhaps it's misfortune, perhaps opportunity
perhaps it's a blessing, perhaps a burden
I want to be just another blur on the side of the road
By HCl (Holly Loughlin)
