I find myself in chaos,
A dance of ice and fire,
I know the risks and costs,
I know reality's a liar,

I'm sick of counting sheep,
They pull wool over my eyes,
At night I barely sleep,
Thinking of how I roll the dice,

I'm not sure why I write,
My words seem empty and dull,
They don't change wrong to right,
Simply chatter in the skull,

I live my life in these shoes,
They've walked a dozen miles,
But this is what I choose,
If it means I've earned your smiles,

On and on I go,
Writing what comes to mind,
This is all I've got to show,
The legacy I'll leave behind,

Look upon my endless words,
Read them untill you're numb,
I write until it starts to hurt,
Read until you realize it's dumb,

I try to push and do my best,
A slave to your desire,
The words I string at your behest,
Knowing reality's a liar.
