Halfway Faded

I want to be born blind.

I want to be born ugly.

I want no one to mind.

I want no one to save me.

In this world I’m just a parasite

Parasailing

In this world I think I’ll die tonight

Never prevailing

I want to be stillborn.

I want to be jaded.

I want the world to end.

I want to be hated.

In this world I’m just a parasite

Parasailing

In this world I think I’ll die tonight

Never prevailing

I’m singled out for martyrdom!

The crowds will come to burn me alive.

I won’t see kingdom come,

But I’ll see hell tonight!

In this world I’m just a paradox

Parasailing

I’m everything you’re not

Never prevailing!

Never prevailing…

Not sure you have the sight
To even try to see
The blinding light
And delight
Of me

what is it they say about prophets . . . never appreciated for the gifts they bring anyway

[OBWhiteHawk]

Trust me dude you don't want to be blind or ugly. I am half of each of these and it makes life harder, not easier. Great work as always from you, biting and on the edge.

This is VERY lyrical - which makes me tilt my head and go "wow" because the subject matter is so stark in contrast. Its one of those gut poems. Sometimes we write with our dendrites and sometimes - we use stomach acid. This one is an etching with the latter. Impressive.

I was actually listening to the end song of a videogame when I typed this up. I wanted to do something less profane but with the same intensity that I try to have in all of my work.
