Lost myself again
in this trivial world
of plain facts and knowledge
Bored of my prospects
aspirations and dreams
"You have potential!"
Yeah, and so did Helen Keller
but I bet she was happier
knowing her limitations
The lost conquest
of the inner self
plagues my mind
making ruins
of my achievements
If you truly are
what you have done
then in truth
you will always be
a shadow of your deeds
I am a man
of what I could of done
a procrastinator
with low self esteem
So walk on,
Men of virtue
walk on,
Men of grace
I grow tired
of your idols
I grow tired
of your ideals.
