We strike up conversations, A spark of dying flame. Kindle built from imitations, Glee is folly and a game. Bootless is our falsity, No one knows our name. ****** be outward chastity! ****** be this wretched game! My only joy is being true, My only sorrow lame. Lame I am, and lame it is, I'm crippled by a game.

Ode To My Greatest Struggle
We strike up conversations, A spark of dying flame. Kindle built from imitations, Glee is folly and a game. Bootless is our falsity, No one knows our name. ****** be outward chastity! ****** be this wretched game! My only joy is being true, My only sorrow lame. Lame I am, and lame it is, I'm crippled by a game.
We act like someone who we are not and we change ourselves for others. This is a tyranny of society. We think we need friends, but a good friend will never know who you are. Such is the outward society, to talk but never speak. To rattle about vanities but never say a single word worth hearing. I despise it, and though I know it can't be stopped, still, I clench my fists.
