He had a twilight in his eyes
that made that smile seem sincere.
Sincere in a way that some people
can say, "Go **** yourself"
and sound legitimately concerned
for your well being at the same time.
No, no, no, he was a beggar's child,
and grew up in a broken home
where pride spat in the face of
a legitimate source of income.
Couldn't lose a purpose if one was
never attained, but, you know,
still purposeless. Some people though,
they can be *******, ******,
they can be a lot of things,
but you'll still love them for being
honest. You see, when people see
brilliance in someone, it can just
******* ruin the whole ***.
It's better this way.
Just being honest. Just yourself.
I want that dream again;
the one where I feel like I'm breathing
instead of learning how.
