Shadows of a Thought
I don't know who I want to be anymore, kids,
plus I really don't even know who I've been
when I'm wasting time like I've been gifted a surplus,
I do though in fact have a whole life time
but only one,
One life to kill
for the millions and billions more
that died on impact
when my dad shot me out
into what could have been
a snot rag, but not this time,
I was the great winner in a race
where my flagella held true,
and this is how I honor my brothers and sisters
who weren't quite as quick,
By becoming lost in the third dimension
I stare out my window
like the world is staring back
through a limosine's tinted windows,
The glorious sunsets
to the violent storms
shadowed by the moon
lit by the sun
encapsulated by our solar system
spinning around some
super massive black hole
though here I am,
a speck,
some soul riddled
lover of life
who thinks out loud
more than he's acted proud,
I'm not impressed anymore
by things,
People talk to me and I already know
what it is they're going to say,
Why bother?
Just shut up,
save me the air
and spill your ass somewhere
that you're not being generic,
I need originality
and a sense of self,
I need a tall glass of something
to make the thoughts stop,
I need a release from all the cortisol
that my body produces at light speed,
need vs. want
right vs. wrong
past vs. future
in a no holds barred
black magic battle to the death
when there's a bitchin' metal band
playing hit for hit and note for note
When will we be free of the shackles?
I don't want everything
just enough to feel whole,
half of me isn't enough anymore
quite honestly,
I am racked in two
with more than a million possibilities
killing me for sport,
Purpose is an introvert
dying to have a night out
and I'll be damned if we're
not going to invite it
