A vivid mind, void of prattle
The collective, left unmeddled
Mannequins with human faces
Their very thought has left my conscious
I've lived alone in the cracks of society
Diverged from the path of what cattle call reality
A system in my mind
I have lived this life
beckoned by my own
Views so distorted
I alone exist
You are meaningless
Merit nothingness
You are just an ant to a God complexion
Which part of me is left unburied
These toxic traits I always carry
I always struggle to understand
The way of thinking that aren't in my
Own head
I question every single day
To find any meaning beyond me
To reach the interconnected souls
SONDER
A gateway I am yet to breach
Solitude
A pathway wandered aimlessly
To find that everyone
Contemplates the struggle I could never comprehend
Which part of me is left unburied
These toxic traits I always carry
I always struggle to understand
The way of thinking that isn't mine
Hard to believe
Other's suffering
Instinctually
It just blew past me
And I'm a thief
That just drains
Emotions entrusted to me
It was my blindside
I could never feel anything
It was heard to perceive
The feelings felt around me
Damaged was I?
Or was I the damaging?
Did I exist
Alone to begin with?
It feels so wrong
when it felt I was always right
Causality
Isn't fiction, but a true state
In actuality
We're all the same
I am grieved by the fact I was always asleep
There's a link between
Something that binds us together
But I was missing something
I was caught up in my selfishness
It was hard to think
In my dividedness
I was grasping the snake
By it's fucking tail
And I got bit
I shared my venom
With everyone
Everything I held in esteem
So grandiose
Trapped inside
A perfect delusion
Imperfect as the world I was waking up from
Stretch my lies to a truth
Couldn't see point not in line with the cognitive madness
But I breathed in deep all of the self-deceit
Set in my ways, me and I alone
Set ablaze to rationality
Now I've learned
That the way to the soul
Is compassion
