Troy Nelson Poet Free verse

Fate

It's NOT true!
there is NO dagger
behind my back...

step closer
i have something
i want to give to you

Can't you see the tears
that i secretly choke back
as you introduce me
to 
reality....

You said...
i could be, "anything"
i wanted to be
you said...
that I, "lived"
in the land of the free.

You claim to encourage me
by throwing me
into false reality
incoherant traditions
ah soo satisfying
bring me to dream

It's not TRUE
there is KNOW dagger
hiding behind my back
but i wish you'd step closer
i have something to tell you

You are a name
assigned to a number
and it's this way
that you actually exist
God is a computer
where we have a file on you
and I've been waiting
for you 
yes YOU 
to resist

Animals are nothing but mechanical

blow out the candles
put the voodoo doll away
hide behind your cross
but does the evil sway?
The world is a misery machine
so live a good life
you'll be coming back again
grasping for that knife

It's NOT true
there is no dagger
behind my back
Just turn around
and face
the 
facts.
