Inside Myself

 

on the inside i’m smarter

more genius really

a sub-conscious mind criminal

capped with the reluctance

not to conform

not to give in

to the dull mold I have been given.

i think in lyrics, i think with a tone

i think in a way

that sounds better to my own ears,

no one else matters

the convincing stands for me alone,

the right melody could make even the worst words sound poetic

and that’s just the way i think,

all in all

my thoughts probably sound like a billy joel song.

deeper still, past the ignorance

to think that my thoughts could ever even come close to a billy joel song;

past that, lives a lovesick puppy dog.

a hormone driven bank robber

with an unjustifiable need

for love and attention,

a quick witted fast talkin man

who thinks not in sweet poetic melodies

but only in condescending phrases like:

“thank you, we are all a little refreshed now from your unique point of view”

or

“i like you, you remind me of when i was young and somewhat stupid”

when executed right,

and while completely abandoning all selflessness

this way of thinking can actually make me happy,

this must be my dark side.

I love the way this just flows, with no breaks.
