Trying To Try

i fall into confusion again and again.
never have i rested and always i am resisting,
refusing to let shallow inclinations be a factor in my decisions
i overcome my human weaknesses with a logical precision

there is no one, none who can help
i am alone, far from reality
lost in my own, my individual society
alert to the world no more
i am an artifact of who i was 10 years before
just a decoration of the growth i have endured
older, older, more than i can want
yet so much stronger it all seems trivial
it all affects me but nothing will change me

Nothing can do that, i won't..can't let it
if i lose myself i am left with death only
literal or figurative- it is the same for me
it is the same for me- the same either way...
I WILL NO LONGER BE
that will not happen to me,
i allow it no hold, no power
i am not ready to face my final hour
i am not afraid to die...
i am afraid to be dead inside
THAT I WOULD NO LONGER BE
turning to a shell of all that was me
the same to your eyes, but dead inside
a pointless waste of resources
with no chance of progression
