I'm to busy

Nov 24, 2007 23:48

8 weeks have past since my mental epiphany. And by 'epiphany' I mean a mental and physical discombobulation. In retrospect, life is much better, because life is just that much more truthful. The truth will indeed set you free, but no one realizes how scary freedom can be when you've denied it so long.

I'm too busy to translate eccentrics
i gotta hit send quick before these words fly
out of this mind I have to bend it
like will power
whats new towering over me
switch power
what's next on television sets
it's a listless hour
and i'm the only pilot flying
on this mission
through acts of contrition
i expect a payback like 401K predictions
i invest more time in trite
ordinarty lines
i tuck my mind away
in case it goes out of style
a billboard advertisement for
highest miles
per gallon personality
there's another verse in me
that's determined
to be ernest
as it travels down
the hemingway street
fight my mind another night
awake as all daytime
pushing out a feigned rhyme
on keyboard taps and
restless mind
i sew the creases of my seam
to vacuum pack an inner scream
as diverse as it's traverses
as a snowflake burning dreams
one of a kind
ten for a dime
penny a loaf
for thoughts that could have
broken the line
that i was coloring
i warm my vocal
chords to sing
another sad song
for another night gone
