Crashing Contradictions
like a drunk
I’m driving
swirving
and crashing
a drop of oil
in a bucket of tears
a lonely blind man
unable to hear
I’m a prophet
without a god
a wretched leper
outcast in fear
I’m the tolling bell
that leads to nothing
a strength of heart
only found in pain
I’m a mystery
that can’t be solved
a faraway land
conquered and long gone
but you’re too busy
controlling the game
tallying the scores
and comparing the same
and here am I
not fighting
not struggling
not yelling
Just losing
to your simple
stupid
name
