In Their Eyes

The darkness behind their eyes reveals a mind that's still asleep I'm not blind to the intentions that slumber waiting for their number to be called to awaken No I'm not mistaken but see what was planned for me in the darkest of rooms It seems as though they've been consumed by their hate for me but what have I done besides be me unapologetically? I do this enthusiastically with or without approval because it comes so naturally Why come for me if I didn't send for you then pretend as if what I say isn't true? I am the truth that your lowly lies try to hide but still I won't stoop I'm used to animated animosity even if the hypocracy is cartoonish in nature You'd need a reality eraser to correct the mistakes you've made in this matrix Let's stick to the basics of cleaning our own home before throwing rocks at another How dare one speak truth so uniquely his own they say & in such a way that inspires both love and hate inside of others Some can't wait to see you fall while others wish to see you rise If I were you I'd keep my eyez on the prize & off the plate in other peoples lives Instead of despising me for what I see & surmise how about just being you minus the added debris Maybe one day they'll retire after they put out their dumpster fires instead of burning bridges meant to inspire
