They see an opportunity
They take it
But they may not always make it
Fly across the gap
We jump
We fall
The end of another lap
Fake it till you make it
They said
It's all inside your head
I dread to embed what has become
So widespread
Falling so easily
Trusting so simply
I wish to end this trend
Maybe not break it
Simply just put an end
This moonlit pit
That I commit to so often
Is the cause of the symmetrical slits
In the canvas
That is so scarred
From these common mistakes
That I always seem to remake
The intake of the drug is not enough
As I'm waking up
Taking up another lyrical task
You all may ask
What my inspiration is to write
Such random ideas
But you must try to understand
The thoughts I extract from my brain
That form the plot as they fall to the page
It's all a metaphor
My thoughts are the predator, competitor
That I take and turn into something meaningful and deep
Dark things come out when I sleep
The hill so steep
That I attempt to climb so often
I begin to see
The reality of the scenery
Here's the tea
My mind is a cage
An enclosure
For sure we all have problems to overcome
I often associate my mind with
Pandora's Box
If you haven't heard the tale
Here's my interpretation
The terrible
The horrible
The evil
The inevitable
Must all escape
Before the hope can take shape
Inside this landscape
This is barely chapter one
Once again I must say goodbye
For now I must try
To deny the ideas
Of life
If the strife never fades
I will attempt to take it away
So long my dear acquaintance
I'll be back another day
U
