Black Sheep Mentality
Miscalculations and moments of self-assertion
These mistakes, I wish I learned the first time
Abating in my conceit with obvious wounds to show
A battered and bitter human but less off a being
Inward and beyond, a lack of will rest in the void
No righteous fury to arise and truly feel alive
Inward and beyond, I am not whole- Trace back the symptomatic scares
They tell the tale of a troubled trance
Docile to my own demise
But now, with audacious hands over my eyes I let the darkness inspire
A sight for all sore eyes exposed to artificial light
Forced immolation, polish the blemishes that tarnish me until I dissipate in my search for divination
I watch the days pass by through transparent walls
It eats away at me to stand so still, we must dispel the benevolent ideas of boredom
You are the journey; failing to experience yourself
Sedated by the government; our attention distracted
A second hand reality priced, contorted, recycled
