didn't think I was so angry
didn't know I could feel hate

but now I Rage Against the Machine
destiny or fate?

I often don't understand
the workings of my mind

emotions overcome me
I seek, but do I find?

beauty brings me hope
ugliness despair

kindness and connection
against isolation everywhere

ambiguity
deep within myself

my demons and my angels
the lifestory on my shelf

I cannot overcome
the ignorance and strife

the endless agony
of my relationship with my wife

reduced again to silence
often I just endure

searching for gratitude
unknown, quite sad, impure
