if i didn't try so hard to be smart, i might not end up sounding so foolish.
when i am confident in my foolishness, it is no surprise i hear only my voice.
nothing coming in, only the desire for self expression coming out.
i really don't know about teamwork. i fear failure in a group setting.
but when left alone, i become champion of my own world.
that's a big part of my problem.
if i only require myself to feel this, then how much of it is actually real?
technology allows me to live somewhat in the past,
without realizing the present is slowly leaving me behind.
i cringe now when the building is nearing an end,
but earlier in construction i was all smiles.
i've had many ups and downs
the ups created the downs and the downs created strength.
i could not drag myself out of that pit.
i just wallowed until the pit evaporated.
i am zeroing in on myself. liar. i am fleeing.
the ground zero of my life i cannot stand.
i am forced to see that my life is all about me.
where all the doors are knobless and the windows reflective.
eventually the fire dies and the belief is sight without light.
the birth of a lie. the death of a chance.
if my past is tough, my future is tougher.
perhaps because my lovers and haters agree.
it's the only way for me to be...

  • I will definitely be reading this a few times. I love it!

    You have stated my so oft mindset
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key
