I perceive the deception from your stare
Assuming you've repressed
With your subterfuge
Heralding with open arms
To submerge yourself into thoughts
Given yourself the compellation
To bare yourself a laudable name
Constructed yourself upon these principles
Come to naught
Your own criteria
Rendered to
Conscience-striken
Yet to contravene the
Apparent image
Entrenched yourself on
The weaved fray
You've self woven
Begin to speculate
How to conspire against your set odds
Constructed yourself upon these principles
Come to naught
Your own criteria
Rendered to
Conscience-striken
Yet to contravene the
Apparent image
These evident facts incite you
Find it strenous
To relinquish the burned thoughts
Oppressing your self-accolades
With every ill-fated attempt
Only infuriates your inept mind
Apprehending
Every ineffective effort
Disengages you
From your targeted hosts
must you try to eradicate
The enmity
To fail again
Constructed yourself upon these principles
Come to naught
Your own criteria
Rendered to
Conscience-stricken
Yet to contravene the
Apparent image
These evident facts linger on you
Inciting you in a mere haste
You find it strenous
To relinquish the thoughts
Oppressing your self-accolades
With every ill-fated attempt
Only infuriates your inept mind
You've contructed yourself
Upon these principles
Come to naught
Your own criteria
Rendered to
Conscience-stricken
Yet to contravene the
Apparent image
Meander on to somewhere else
You are
Delirious, man
A Delirious Man
