this fortress I've built from stone

is merely a sandcastle

disintegrating into the tide and becoming a part of the sea

I don't want to live an ordinary life

to be "realistic" is to lie because

I think I could be remarkable

is that too far fetched too

narcissistic too

self-confident for comfort

cause I don't want you to misinterpret

my refusal to be typical

as any sort of assumption

that I am superior in any way

I simply desire to be extraordinary

because I'm terrified of being

lost in the blue
