Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared.


I weave in and out
Of desperation
Of hope
Of cleverly designed facades
I keep my head down
Trying to block out
Snippets of mindless conversation
Trying to block out
The fact that I don't belong
The fact that no one belongs
I console myself with the fact
That at least I know up from down
Wrong from right
I'm willing to admit
That I know I'm alone
But I'm also willing to admit
I'm not the only one
And in these hallways,
Although I'm a lone wolf
At least I k now where I stand.
