Star-tangled Banger
I spend my days in a timeless haze
Not knowing if I'm coming or going
Trundling through a lifelong morning
Don't care if my apathy's showing
My wants and needs like summer sandals
Flip flopping in the sand
My mind aches more than the painful twinges
Shooting through my hand
And the lazy, loping, lacklustre rhythm
Just echoes the state of my mind
Crying out of tired exertion
Against the shackles that bind
People seem to frown upon
The navel-gazing poet
But self emotions are the strongest
It's true and you all know it
You are what you eat and I'm eating nuts
'Cos there are no foods made of awesome
And I'm running low on happy juice
It's a nightmare to secure some
It's not my thoughts that are random
But when I verbalize
I can see incomprehension
In other people's eyes
Even when I'm snoozing, my brain just keeps on cruising
Night riding like a certain jet black car
I'm just a passenger on a journey, or a patient on a gurney
A burnt out shooting star

i don't know a touched, talented, tortured that hasn't experienced this look. genius is often unrecognizable to the masses. keep thinking, writing, speaking even if what you know/are helps one human it is worth it.
