Not Your Great Pretender

Not a great pretender
So, I quit; a weakness?
So, I rethink; heavy weight
Should I go? 
             - what's waiting on the other side?


Unaffirmative, constant anger, 
What's the problem?
For we do the job you asked; why the furious?
— now I think, did I do something wrong
Call us out, call me out! 

My mental health is at stake
I am not your great pretender
Look at  my expression; the face says it all! 

90 more days: believing faith —
Blindfaith, stagnant
Change: where is? 
Running to the crowd? Hiding away?
I'm sick in the head, is there a funeral?
Send me away, no changing a mind


A cabinet! One day I cleaned
You hear no complain, fine
Like everything else

What else? To do? 
The angel would be mad if we not do something 
You'd say
Give us something for never have we complained
And you're still mad

I do not understand! 
My mind is tired! 
A change of heart! 
A hope I admired 
Never acclaimed 

I thought before my impulse
Hoping! Indeed
Tired, in my mind
My emotions asleep
It does not care but my brain does - every bit of it 
Indeed deteriorates 
You in my mind! I hate
