To lie To cheat To steal All to get what I want Sounds like psychopathy and Narcissism put together I care about others But more about my own goals Good thing i have none

Machiavellianism
*I'm tired And since I'm not eating Then my energy Is non-existing I'm barely keeping my eyes open As I type in the words For this poem. I'm trying not to make typos, But it's hard when you only see A cloudy version of the keyboard Since your eyelids are slowly closing. Outside people are enjoying The sun Which for once Are shining over Denmark But I'm just sitting inside The University of Copenhagen Occupying myself So that there's no time For crying I bought myself a new book One by Niccolò Machiavelli I plan to read it In the holiday And I'm really looking forward to this Since through the last four years People have often recommended me To read it... So while Green Day's "Panic Song" is playing On my headphones I'll finish my poem And return to my book 'Cause though I'm tempted Then I can't keep wasting my time Writing poems Just to I keep myself occupied. Maybe I'll take the book And go read outside In the sunshine...*

Can't Keep Wasting Time...
Breath to breath Our winds, our mixing I don't know if I'll handle This hurricane. But don't let me tell you It's immoral, We both know That holds no water. Skin to skin, Ashes to ashes The earth comes up To meet our confusion. Smoke, oh god, smoke. My mind's become kindling I burn for you Fire is an evening well spent. Don't let anyone tell you You're a Machiavellian lover For Severity is its own reward And I can be yours.
