sometimes i think
if you asked who i am
i wouldn't be able to tell you
Sherlock Rae Jan 2021
Listening does not mean learning.
Learning does not mean knowledge.
Knowledge does not mean you are wise.
Wisdom does not mean you are aged.
Age does not mean you are frail.
Frailness does not mean you are weak.
Weakness does not mean you are worthy.
Worthiness does not mean you are entitled.
Entitlement does not mean you are the one.

sometimes i just want to take a break from being me
and be someone else for a little bit

i think it'd be nice to run away
but i'm stuck in a concrete prison

sometimes i just want to be done with this
and go somewhere i can be safe

i think it'd be nice to not have to try anymore
but my chains are too heavy to lift

...running around this endless loop
as if i'm stick in a chicken coop
go too slow and i'll be soup
so i keep on...

if i could taste the rainbow
i'd paint it just like michelangelo
i would sing about it like calypso--
every shade of indigo
broadcasted from my patio
so loud and sharp i'd get vertigo
my very own adagio
Sherlock Rae Nov 2020
Around me, I see the world
Undulate and fabricate
This warped sense of time and space
I see the world in a pantomime
It's simply this internal rhyme
I'm dying, but it's a victimless crime
Sherlock Rae Nov 2020
i know i'm not who you want me to be

but i cannot change the way i think or see

this beautiful, beautiful world around me
