Lost In Drastic Reflection

Where's the action?

What's my mission?

What's my purpose?

If not to simply exist,

Graduate, work, parent,

Earn, love, and die?

I cannot live on in monotony

By habit, by populace, by the code

Of the world, of my DNA

Of the program, of the laws

I desire more

Freedom beyond limitation

Beyond imagination

Beyond this,

An enchained conformity

Obsorbed in delusions

Following fearsome effusions

A reclusive systematic equation

Reveling minor technological variation

Seeming to augment further

And distort further

A metallic illusion

Leaving the world, leaving reality

In what name?

A tossed existence

No longer filled with zeal and zest

No more adorned with teal and crest

Though, what can I do?

The laws and codes are set

In stone and paper and genes

In newspapers, books, and magazines

My mind is the only recluse

Dreaming of impossibilities

Illegalities and exciting maladies

Flight and foresight

Death and bright nights

A world demanding perfection

Is not a world for me

A world demeaning reflection

Is not a world for me

As I said once before,

I am here to find something once lost

Maybe it was myself

Or the things that made me

Scattered and shadowed

Yet, the more they are revealed

The more I feel confused

As it all contradicts itself

And destroys itself

So here I am, once again

Lost in drastic reflection
