you don't know me from the last word I wrote
but the pages can tell you about me
and then you gaze unable to fathom the
meaning of what it is I am saying,
though simplicity is neither my strong suit
I have attempted to please you in this manner
in doing so I seem to have confused you futher
so I shall attempt to beguile you
with whom I am in my words.
I write to write, for my mind is not sane
though not yet clinical I am on the edge,
therefore I let out my self to to control
myself, and not for praise or love, though nice.
I have been here for a time, not sure
how long, though enough time to see good
friends go and good friends grow silent
and friends of the wind I shall cry for.
I write to write for if I do not
I fear the corner of the room to be
my only outlook on this life I see,
though truely I wonder at it all,
how cruel we are as a race when words
can be made daggers, and idiots follow
like sheep to flock around the latest craze,
to shatter that is my task.
