Attitude is everything

I don’t understand anything that I convey
My attitude it comes in short
Has a lot of room to grow, improve
Some say that I’m a prude
That my sensibility is so absurd
But my mind keeps them at bay
Don’t hear a word that they say
I like my view obscured
I like my mind left numb and hazy

So I
Walk to my own beat
So I
Like to make them estimate
They just can’t deduce
I set my trends with no rhyme
I enjoy going on with no reason

I hate
What it is
What success really takes
I’d like to have a dime
But effort seems so crazy

I don’t think that I can truly illustrate
How much I won’t improve
I have no motivation to even try
My constitution just ain’t wrote that way
But some say that if I gave self improvement just one try
I’d see the world unfold before my eyes
Maybe that’s what I really crave
But I’ll just stand my ground
Look in awe without a sound
I’ll continue on as my family’s disgrace
God I make one hell of a black sheep
It’s not really my point of view
It’s just the way I’m living

So I
Walk to my own beat
So I
Don’t pursue a single dream
So I
Like to make them estimate
They just can’t deduce
See I
Set my trends with no rhyme
Going on without a dream
I run a race
I set no pace
I have no reason
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

    good read...sounds like someone who knows how to try but chooses not to
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    what gives the impression it is about somebody else?

    I think it could be about anyone...why? is it about you? :)

    I thought it was about someone else because you seem angry at the person it's about. You're angry at yourself?

    We all have our own walk. Furthermore, some are lucky enough to meet along the way.
    Can't you see that there's light in the dark.
    Nothing's quite what it seems in the city of dreams.

    I don’t understand anything that I convey
    Attitude always comes up a little short
    Has a lot of room to grow, maybe improve
    Some say that I grow more and more unwise
    That my sensibility is to absurd
    But my mind keeps all of that at bay
    Don’t hear a word that they say
    I like my view obscured
    I like my mind left numb and fucking hazy

    So I
    Walk to my own beat
    So I
    Like to make them estimate
    So I
    Leave them a tad disturbed
    No just can’t deduce
    I set my trends with no rhyme
    I enjoy going on with no reason

    I hate
    What it is
    What success really takes
    I’d like to have a dime
    But effort seems so fucking crazy

    I don’t think that I can truly illustrate
    How much more I won’t improve
    I have no motivation to even try
    My constitution just ain’t wrote that way
    But some say that if I gave self improvement just one try
    If I saw just a tiny glimpse
    I’d see the world unfold before my eyes
    Maybe that’s what I really crave
    But I’ll just stand my ground
    Look in awe without a sound
    I’ll continue on as my family’s disgrace
    God I make one hell of a black sheep
    It’s not really my point of view
    It’s just the way in which I subside
    I like the way that I’m not living

    So I
    Walk to my own beat
    So I
    Don’t pursue a single dream
    So I
    Like to make them estimate
    They just can’t deduce
