Social SurvivalistA Poem by The Winter GreyIn the words of Marsuvees Black... "Wanna trip, baby?"Let's take a look at the facts. We're somewhere between the white and the black. The fine art of "crash and burn." I can teach it if you're willing to learn.
You must know I'm not perfect. I'm a nice enough guy on the surface. But name a time and a place. You can't see the snarl that's twisting my face.
I'm counting each and every step you take. Waiting for even the slightest mistake. If you cross me check your back for a knife. It'll look like the one that you left in mine.
Am I monster? The jury's still out. I want to tell you what it's all about. You build it up and I'll tear it apart. Rules were made to broken and so was your heart.
Let's take a look at you now. Not all of us can make our mothers proud. The fine art of "live and learn." You lit the match I just like to watch it burn.
Haven't you ever been wronged? And long to rebel when you couldn't belong? Have you ever had enough? And deign to hate those who betrayed your love?
You're not the villain but you're no hero. Turning into someone that you don't know. Shadows on the face you once recognized. This is life but you won't make it out alive.
So take a walk on the dark side with me. Evil for evil, embracing the envy. The good aren't so good they just hide their doubt. And bad guys end up with the girl anyhow.
Whatever I do you've done to yourself. Whatever I do you've done to someone else. None of us are perfect, we can't all be right. Survivalist or sociopath, we're all the same tonight. © 2012 The Winter GreyAuthor's Note
