mind and light

 
You know I think I am just sick.

              Sick of be­ing the last pri­or­i­ty.

              Sick of be­ing the one whose dreams are too un­tamed.

              Sick of the medi­oc­rity that every­thing claims to take.

              Sick of this sick­ness of those tam­per­ing with my soul.
 

Our lives aren’t meant to be in these box­es, we are not meant to be only liv­ing to make it by, to work the hours they tell you and not have time to think or be.

It’s fun­ny how when you be­come that voice – they all dis­miss you.

They tear you down. They ruin you.

And I’m stu­pid enough to run back, to grab your arm and beg.

Be­cause I see more than there is here, and I care too deeply to fuck­ing leave you here.

And nev­er will the vi­sion be good enough for your blind eyes to see.

I am not Je­sus and these sto­ries of make be­lieve. I can­not cure you. I am un­sure I can cure my­self of what you’ve left stained.

But I’ll be damned if this scream­ing part of my­self rips out all of my hair, try­ing to com­mu­ni­cate a mes­sage on deaf ears.

There’s light il­lu­mi­nat­ing my soul, show­ing the dark cor­ners you’ve cho­sen to hide.
