The Darker Side of Poetry
Warrior of the Mind
Why don't I fit in?
The square peg in the round hole
Visualizing fellow man with suspicion and fear
Fear of embarrassment and fear of my capabilities
Always expecting a violent confrontation
Ready for action a warrior's mindset
Plans of attack and defence in my paranoid socially inept mind
Am I the bad person for these intrusive yet real thoughts?
I must fade to the background with my fake smile to avoid my fate
Just keep fading away becoming an ignored shape in the distance
It's safer that way
Yet it hurts so much to keep analyzing myself
The negative karma out to destroy what I have to give
Will not defeat me
I must fight on
And become a true warrior to myself.
The square peg in the round hole
Visualizing fellow man with suspicion and fear
Fear of embarrassment and fear of my capabilities
Always expecting a violent confrontation
Ready for action a warrior's mindset
Plans of attack and defence in my paranoid socially inept mind
Am I the bad person for these intrusive yet real thoughts?
I must fade to the background with my fake smile to avoid my fate
Just keep fading away becoming an ignored shape in the distance
It's safer that way
Yet it hurts so much to keep analyzing myself
The negative karma out to destroy what I have to give
Will not defeat me
I must fight on
And become a true warrior to myself.
