Life In An Orphanage Poem by frank johnson

A utopain dreamer, those who fake compassion to mask their codependency complex, you've been so preoccupied with the external noise around you, there is a reason why cupid is personified, love does not keep score, take solace in the fact that everyone is insecure sometimes, I am compelled to look inside when tranquility sets in, I see my heart as though its someone else's, I forgot to worry about the consequences, to look beyond the complaint and into the cause, a crucial decision that will affect me for years to come, personal pain is good for creativity, I want to be understood and adored, to seize the chance to dazzle the public with my erudite thoughts, a silent promise not to do anything stupendously dumb, you gotta know the rules before you can break'em, it is one of life's official rules, I urge you to imagine your way down every painful avenue, broken confidences are deplorables!
