Innocently enough, I found the kerfuffle of fluff bunched up in my knuckles because, I never punch an innocent man twice. Now take the spice out of the words, 'Hey, I'm a nice guy,' And you'll have a half-truth that will trick yet still suffice; I test my pick-up lines on mice and rats like the most esteemed of scientists, Who engineered the difference between maize and rice using language as their disguise I languish in this life. I deal too much in the technical's and it leads to awkward strife, Inside my mind. I notice the fact that I think, And watch the fact that I see, And, for some reason, become ungrateful that my site Isn't 360 degrees. It is in my dreams. I also seem to ask myself the question far too often; "Are you sure you're living yet? Are you sure you're alive yet?" Because I seem to forget that yet implies before and after; And I stave off the potential for my mind to become some sort of existential disaster; Nothing has changed about me biologically for 3 or so years, Yet with the constant bombardment of scientific, philosophical, and existential food for thought I seem to notice now More than ever My mortality. And it's not just my mortality, I ask, "What IS reality?" And the slight lack of focus in my eyes makes me ask in framed legality, "What is this actuality?" And I lose sight that all humanity Serves the same such similar circumstances, With the 5 senses imperfections And I'm sure that most of us are quite insane. Please, don't abstain from braving existential terrain, It will help you to obtain The fact That life is such a mystery, And it's best to work with mystery, In transcendental synergy, Because suddenly humanity Is null and void. I write this true to mind: These are the thoughts that float through mine, And keep me sleepless time-to-time Or keep me feeling like I'm sleeping, As the thoughts keep me confined On occasion. Yet sometimes I do awaken And feel myself a direct part of the reality I've forsaken, Over-thinking, With the labels that our minds have been creating, Since the dawn of humankind and man-made time.

Inside my Mind.
Innocently enough, I found the kerfuffle of fluff bunched up in my knuckles because, I never punch an innocent man twice. Now take the spice out of the words, 'Hey, I'm a nice guy,' And you'll have a half-truth that will trick yet still suffice; I test my pick-up lines on mice and rats like the most esteemed of scientists, Who engineered the difference between maize and rice using language as their disguise I languish in this life. I deal too much in the technical's and it leads to awkward strife, Inside my mind. I notice the fact that I think, And watch the fact that I see, And, for some reason, become ungrateful that my site Isn't 360 degrees. It is in my dreams. I also seem to ask myself the question far too often; "Are you sure you're living yet? Are you sure you're alive yet?" Because I seem to forget that yet implies before and after; And I stave off the potential for my mind to become some sort of existential disaster; Nothing has changed about me biologically for 3 or so years, Yet with the constant bombardment of scientific, philosophical, and existential food for thought I seem to notice now More than ever My mortality. And it's not just my mortality, I ask, "What IS reality?" And the slight lack of focus in my eyes makes me ask in framed legality, "What is this actuality?"
