I *In the course of time Defects commence to notice: "Once, it was a hero" Begins to melt "Once, it was worshiped" Starts to fade The desire to be at least half Becomes a mere illusion The grief of starting from zero Not be just a fusion, (I laugh), for I am my own hero* II *An eternal dilemma: head or heart? Life experiences repeat themselves over time Look back, not with nostalgia, but with lucidity Not to retell the same mistakes, that's stupidity Rectify the defects, but don't be a mime Head or heart? These desires of a distorted mind are such strife Those promises for life are barely a rind It's as soon as you get to the point of no return That you realize the fantasy must burn Head or heart? Use the head is an art Using the heart in the right stead But use them both is my oath* III *I come from a quiet little town But I was never the type of let me drown Lose and gain accents has always been my thing So bring me the king of seek that we may sing together That the best man win. See, without knowing whether all or nothing Write, until I have abraded skin, so when the time comes The tought living at my fingers will shut Sing, bright or heavyhearted Feel the beat of unchearted drums Yell by choice until lose my voice Murmur lower than a subatomic bell Until gain a tragicomic muse.* ***The elocution of my brain has no dues For art is a perpetual evolution.***
