I thought it was me The whole time.… it was you. Convincing me that I had been the enemy Tearing down all that’s familiar around me Accepting too much Placing things too high for reaching… I have yet to find the stool You are only seeking perfection Is that not too farfetched? Amid the worlds imperfection? A glory that I, myself, have not yet attained I am only seeking what’s worthy Surely, I am deserving of that The enemy… Feeling like I must conform To the ways and for the likes of you When I don’t even know you… So for now on, I’ll be sleeping With the t.v. off. -Sydnē Deon
