Auto Bio
Hailed by storms of ignorant bliss
A speck of somebody familiar
Who was brought, and raised
Beneath air thick with stupidity
Growth came fast and he was frightened
Knowing that the world meant him harm
Lifted by the arms of someone stronger
His feet barely touched the ground
And his was all in kindness
Because he just wanted to be loved
So he was, by all around
Perhaps even more than what was best
Early he became a generator
Translating thought into phrase
Paper to piece of youthful mastery
To swoon himself intoxicated
He was young but promised dear
His takers caring said so proudly
'All great things' they promised him
Until he believed his to be destined
As he aged, he found sadness
Allowing it to feed his retreats
Playing wise he gathered gazes
Until the shadow got him better
He breathed in all the dark
Reaching for the sympathy
Feeling weary, fallen ill
Giving way to an infection
He felt the bite of many failures
Gained an old man's understanding
Found himself so in touch with all the hurt
That he couldn't recall anything before
Vulgar thoughts were a shroud
In his head, he kept on dying
As he tried for a spot of knowledge
He was fool enough to fall in love
So all was pink and bright and loud
Shaking with such broken hinges
And as such things aren't to last
The breakdown was inevitable
After which, he tried his best
To find sense in life
From odd to end, he lifted well
Just to stumble down again
And disappointment called his name
The change of which would bring him hell
Girl that mattered stomping down
Girl returning confirmed his loss
He ran away and went bare broke
Came back home to watch it cease
Rift between the family
Who aren't even trying anymore
Her words he can't remember
The feelings that claw at his spine
And now there's new, she's so true
She's gotten far too into things
And so in his own quiet way
He struggles to reconstruct
The materials he lacks, improvised
And it leads to an ugly new beginning
One that has accepted downfall,
As the only thing authentic
And who will share, forever more
Nothing worth a notice.
