My arms are open Like my mind My love is receiving Like my heart is empty I am as critical As I am in search of a pinnacle Yet I do not chase my quarry I seem to think she will just fall unto my midst How lazy How repugnant How laughable Naive I preach of self reflection But caught between two mirrors of my own hypocrisy My vileness reflects back to me. Blinded by my selfish lust for connection with one not of my disposition I miss the blinding double standard I continue to lie. To spread pseudo-self exploration Pseudo-self understanding So my arms may be as open as I say my mind is And my love may be as receiving as  my heart is empty But my soul My soul is as yellow As my teeth.
