I'M Dissapointed
I'm dissapointed
not in you or my cryptic creeky teacher
but myself
Every action I make cripples me further and further
into this dark whole that sucks me in like quicksand and my only
little bit of sanity is closing my eyes and forgetting its there
You can't forget your problems they are everywhere thriving surviving
night and day morning and evening
They don't sleep
They survive because we feed them thoughts
our thoughts are the mana of our inner demons
The more we give them, the more power they obtain
You know you will never be enough but you know that already
It's the dream and opportunity to be more than yourself
to be what you think your damn parents wanted you to be well
I have news for you and my ignorant self
They want you to be happy and sucessful
not the framework of a fake Van Gogh
It doesn't matter what they used to tell you
or subtly enforce
You are yourself
and have a solid course.
Perfectionism is overated
Saying words and meaning them are two different things
every lyrical lumpy line isn't immaculate but
poetry is the mode of freedom that has no goal
The objective is completion and changing lives through black ink
like seeping into their soul and gifting them with another side of
a mirror mounted to a wall.
