my world
Close your eyes and open your mind,
a treasure chest filled with confusion you will find.
Look within the window of my world,
through it turbulence will be hurled.
Uncertainty in the top shelf of my brain,
where doubt shall forever reign.
Eternally hesitating and with perpetual restrain,
it would be futile to explain.
Use a shovel and dig in deep,
what you will uncover can make you weep.
Where I thought there was substance,
in its place you will discover nonchalance,
disguised as a show of confidence.
Infused with a parchment layer of common sense,
it keeps me afloat and holds my world upright.
I'll never surrender without an infinite fight.
a treasure chest filled with confusion you will find.
Look within the window of my world,
through it turbulence will be hurled.
Uncertainty in the top shelf of my brain,
where doubt shall forever reign.
Eternally hesitating and with perpetual restrain,
it would be futile to explain.
Use a shovel and dig in deep,
what you will uncover can make you weep.
Where I thought there was substance,
in its place you will discover nonchalance,
disguised as a show of confidence.
Infused with a parchment layer of common sense,
it keeps me afloat and holds my world upright.
I'll never surrender without an infinite fight.
