Poem
I once had everything too much in fact confidence surging until it told me that I was wiser than the miser so I thought to be so the flaw of my empire was I couldn't let go of thinking people can be taken at word it took losing everything for me to finally see why the of the miser was the wiser way to be On top of temptation sure of my self-control with the strength of my spirit I squeeze the hunger from my soul Now weakness is conquered I can hold my head high without needing and wanting what I need not to survive just to feel more important I offer in abundance what you seek served up for a perfect murderer waiting for the moment of dependency withdraw all attention, suddenly reeling swimming in an ocean of despair without anyone there I float aimlessly lifeless but somehow reach the shore I lay down to dry out in the heat of the sun i feel it's love radiation fill the void of needing someone as if it were trying to tell me its not so bad up here alone at least nothing can be taken when the sky is your home and no one ever again reached me after I realized what was being said the wiser the miser once he never again trusted. Selfishness appears wiser why must my heart be bigger at the moment of truth wish they would pull the trigger and end the pain of either wrong choice nobody there to listen so in my head grows the voice and the message from me or a God of my special design nobody can disprove the choices of mine because theyre all right to me they determine my outcome and if selfish it appears a miser is one who is outdone and better off for it for he is still alive call him the label that fits you for his own are worn on the inside.
