LOOKING WITHIN
WITH THE EYES INSIDE MY SOUL
I SEE THINGS WHICH MAKE ME CRINGE
I SEE LOVING INSIDE MYSELF
I SEE NON-CARING AND SLOTH
I SEE HATRED THAT WILL BURN AND SINGE
SEE THE WARM DAYS OF SUNSHINE
FILL WITH BRIGHTNESS AND CHEER
SHOWING ALL THE WARMTH OF THEIR OWN
THE COLD DAYS OF WINTER
WHEN ALL IS LEFT MOST BASIC
AND THE BEAUTY OF THE SOUL IS KNOWN
I SEE THE COURAGE OF A WARRIOR
THE HEART OF A LOVER
AND STRENGTH OF PARENTAL GUIDANCE
I SEE THE TENACITY OF THE WOLF
THE CONFIDANCE OF THE TIGER
AND THE DRAGON'S DEFIANCE
I SEE A HYPOCRITTICAL NATURE
WHEN MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT THE SAME
WHEN IMP AND CONSCIENCE COLLIDE
I SEE THE NATURE OF THE BEAST
LAUGHING AT DESTRUCTION
SEEKING ALWAYS THE DARKNESS IN WHICH TO HIDE
I SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE
WHAT I AM NOW
AND WHAT I CAN BECOME
AND I CRY
I SEE HOW IT HAS BEEN
HOW IT SHOULD BE
AND HOW IT MAY YET HAPPEN TO BE
AND I SIGH
I SEE THOUGHTS OF A POET,
A GENIUS, A FOOL,
A WARRIOR AND A SCHOLAR
I SEE DEEDS OF THE MORONIC
IGNORANT IN CHOICE AND DEED
WALLOWING IN GUILT AND SQUALOR
I SEE THE SENSEI
GENTLEMAN, KNIGHT PROTECTOR
I SEE THE WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING
THE OLD MAN GIVING CANDY TO A STRANGER
I AM A PARODOX
I AM THE EXAMPLE AND THE FOLLOWER
THE TEACHER AND THE STUDENT
I AM HE WHO RIDDLES
NOT FROM KNOWLEDGE OR THE PAST
BUT FROM THE HALVES OF MYSELF
I AM THE UNDERTONE OF PUNK
DESTRUCTION, DEATH,
SORROW AND REBELLION MY CALLING
I AM THE BEAT OF R&B
THE SOOTHING CARESS THE DREAMLESS LOVER
SAVING YOU WHILE YOU'RE FALLING
I AM THE GREAT HYPOCRITE
TELLING SHOWING
AND NEVER FINISHING
I AM THE LEADER OF THE MASSES
MY CHARISMA INFECTING ALL
WHILE MY SOUL IS DIMINISHING
BUT I AM MAN
TICKLE ME DO I NOT LAUGH?
PRICK ME DO I NOT BLEED?
WRONG ME….DO I NOT REVENGE??
FORCE ME INTO SUBMISSION AND YOU BRING REBELLION
FORCE ME INTO HAPPINESS AND YOU BRING WRATH
PUSH AND PULL
EACH HALF OF ME WILL COME
WILL YOU RIP ME IN TWO TO GET WHAT YOU WANT??
WOULD YOU IF I ASKED YOU TO??
A MAN FALLS FROM A TREE
I LAUGH
HIS ARM BREAKS
TEARS RUN…BECAUSE IT IS FUNNY
HUMANITY SUCKS
IT WILL LAUGH AND SCORN AND BURN
IT WILL TRY TO DESTROY
AT EVERY SINGLE TURN
THIS IS ME
THE WORLD IS MUCH MORE SIMPLE
IT CARESSES AND HOLDS YOU
IT SHOWS ITS WONDERS OF NATURE
IT IS MUCH MORE TRUE
THIS IS ME
THE ELEMENTS ARE HARSH
BUT NEVER CRUEL
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU GET
UNLESS YOU ARE A FOOL
THIS IS ME
NATURE IS CONSTANT
KILL ONLY FOR NEED
MORE LOVING THAN ANY MAN COULD EVER BE
DOES NOT KNOW GREED
THIS IS ME
DEATH IS COLD
DESTRUCTION IS NEAR
I REVEL IN THE DARKNESS
I LOVE TO BRING FEAR
THIS IS ME
I SHOW YOU YOUR BEAUTY
I BRING THE TOUCH OF A ROSE
I BRING THE CARESS OF A BREEZE
I TAKE AWAY YOUR WOES
I BRING THE CARESS OF THE FLAME
THE COOLNESS OF STEEL
THE SOFTNESS OF A RAZOR'S EDGE
IS THIS WHAT YOU LONG TO FEEL?
BUT I STILL DON'T SEE ME
IN ME I SEE A COMMONER
THE DREAMER OF DREAMS AND A PAUPER
THE APPRENTICE OF A POET
NOT CARING WHAT IS PROPER
INNOCENCE OF A CHILD
WICKEDNESS OF AN IMP
CUNNINGNESS OF A GENIUS
THE MIND OF A SIMP
CAN'T TELL WHAT IT IS
DON'T KNOW IF I CARE
DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD
Back...
Back to my main realm...
Back to my poetry listing...
