Opposition

My greatest fault is that both my heart and my brain are too large.
Not that I'm a genius
But I'm no fool
And ignorance is bliss
But knowledge is power,
And my heart is too soft
To let my logic through
And my brain will not sleep
So my heart will not be still
And both, heart and mind, in opposition
Make my life a living Hell.

Hindered

I am hindered by your presence
It engulfs me completely,
And I am half myself
The half I never knew that well
So now I'm stuck here thinking
How to make my escape,
But I have become hindered,
And now I can't move forward
You are in the way
And I merely wait here, lonely,
For when you take your leave.

Slumber

If I remain in constant slumber
It's because I do not wish to wake
My dreams still bring me pain enough,
That life might cause my heart to break.
Should I decide to sleep forever,
Don't place the blame on anyone.
You see, it might for the better,
After everything is said and done.
Try whisp'ring softly in my ear,
And if the words are sweet and true,
Perhaps they'll rouse me from my slumber,
And only then I'll wake for you.

Self

I often complain that I don't know who I am.
Maybe the problem isn't that I don't know who I am,
But that I'm afraid that I already know,
And I really don't like myself.

I've tried numerous times to change;
To be who I want to be.
For me, not for others, but for me,
Or so I tell myself.

But every time I revert back to my old habits.
And I ignore my flaws,
Then I abhor my flaws,
And the cycle starts over again.

Of Loneliness and Sorrow

The world is a sad place.

Sometimes I wonder how others escape the madness.

I want to escape, and I'm not too far away.

Yet, the more I seclude myself from the sorrow of the world,

The more depressing everything seems.

Should I find others to share in my sorrow?

Perhaps the melancholy isn't the problem, but the loneliness.
