Left Behind?
The world is spinning fast.
Have I been left behind?
Am I stuck in the past
Or am I just confined
In my own little place,
In my own little time,
In my own little space.
Is it simply a crime
To want to get away
From the others just once?
I don't know—but today
I just feel like a dunce.
They are crazy and loud
And they don't get along.
They do know they're allowed
To get along—am I wrong?
Well, I know I need to
Catch up to the others.
But if only I knew
Which countries were brothers
And which were friends or rivals—
STOP IT! Where this began
I don't know anymore.
I need to be Japan
Again.
Yes, another thing I wrote when I was bored. I wanted to write one about Japan, but it turned out sadder than expected. It's about how Japan feels after coming out of isolation, and how he feels so left behind—so different. I hope it was good!
