Damn

Dive into your own damned lake,
Take the turn - I'm going straight.
Your intended failed mistake 
Has defined your only fate.

No, I cannot stop the herd,
I can't drain your ego's gall.
I can neither beat one nerd
Nor by words defeat them all.

But my keen and poignant phrase
Does reveal my only wish:
Live your own rusty days,
Poison your f---- up damned dish!

In your masks you look the same,
As perfection cheats on you.
You deny your spirit's lame,
And this way you prove it true.
