Losing Its Luster

The anger not as intense

As yesterday

Me against them mentality defense

A losing battle

An arcane idea best

Left in the past

Not demanding humanity

To stop and

Stare in awe

Such ignorant grandstanding

I'm not that relevant

Did you get that?

If I have nothing to say

I'll rest in the silence

Perhaps to return another day.



A sense of peace overcomes me

A rarity

But not dismissing completely

The dreams more welcoming

The nightmares no longer

Holding my conscience

In captivity.



Like an iron maiden

I'm not staking a claim

For sainthood

I'm not floating on clouds

Or intoxicated with piousness

Nor drowning in despair either

Just here

Still me

But more aware.



I have no control

Over what you think

Nor will I explode

From disagreement

That only widens the gap

And if I'm discontented

With what lies inside

Is it up to them

To cure their ills?

When I don't have the guts

To fix mine?



I'm a master of excuses

But put in perspective

It's not as dire

Or depressing

As I expected

Whether you feel the same

Is a game you'll have to play

At some point.



Cause it's too easy

To sit on the fence

And bitch about

Every little thing

That doesn't pass your muster

You'll never be satisfied

As long as you refuse

To look within

Even paradise loses its luster.





P 10 22 23.
