Here I'm writing again
Unsure whether or not people would like it
I thought this was one thing I was doing for myself
Guess I will be shadowed by the horror
Of how I'm perceived by the ones
That don't care that don't hold a place
For me in their existence
Those never ending stares
That never ending noise of laughter echoing right behind my eyes
I can't even walk in a straight line?
People's perception
I need protection
Prospero is what I want
Percival is who I wanna be
But nothing seems possible
When all I can think about is
Perception
I can't stare at myself without being blind
I see nothing beyond failure beyond those eyes
Emptiness, no soul
A lifeless limp in an attempt to live
I can't find beauty no matter how hard I try
I know I look alright
But beneath it all is just an abandoned palace
With no one to rule no one to protect
Old as always, loveless
I can't let anyone in
They would be sceptical, They would tear it down again
And that's the perception that works out as my worst wish
I'm a coward with nothing to be scared of
I'm a projector of people's worst
I'm the ink that bleeds ruining everything beneath
I'm the pin that drops when everything goes quiet
And I'm the worst of what people perceive.
