"irrationalize" poems
uncertainty has gotten the best of us both
we sit in silence speaking a million words
Shadows dance across the floor
as our tongues fumble over the thoughts
were too afraid to speak
don't irrationalize the rational darling
when heart beats tick in reverse
we stumble over endings
while dreaming only to transverse
Follow me down the darkest hallway
we'll come out where the light has crossed
Only time can bring us answers now
as we flee from apparent insanity
and lie shameful in hope of something more
but we can't irrationalize the rational darling
when heart beats tick in reverse
we stumble over endings
while dreaming only to transverse
This counterclockwise love affair
has worn us far too thin
so turn the hand and speak out
because I'm ready to begin

I could be flying free
Like a bird with its wings spread wide,
Soaring in the wind.
Instead I am chained by my thoughts.
My irrational habit of constantly over thinking.
In the back of my mind
I know I can forget the world
If I only tried.
But then I continue.
I continue to think on the matter
Until I begin to once again
Irrationalize.
Until I decide that I will not fly.
I will stay inside my box.
Because my mind refuses to let me.

Disfluencies in thought irrationalize us all
tis noted by philosophers, man’s historic fall
‘tis not in defeat we find ourselves born
but with views of the future, and history forlorn
ceaseless and restless is the toil, man must face each day
for every single citizen, has debt that they must pay
to earth, to man, to all the world, until they part their ways
still less than insignificant each man’s song still plays
to man we pay homage, in spirit and in song
for without the men who guide our thoughts, we would surely be more wrong
the stumbling paths men must take, for sake of being right
is the same tale of humanity, in constant search for light
on who we are, why we’re here, and does it really matter
if happiness is not achieved, I wouldn’t take the latter
so forth we stumble awaiting the next sure step
towards love and to leave the disasters of the past.
