Prompt at Four A.M.

Pushing everyone who knows me
Don't feel like being known lately
For the things that I've always known
the dumb, the jokes, and the clown

Times where I was excluded
Times where I was never the option
Times where I would never be the one
Times where I just want to disappear

Like murder on live television
They'll trace me back to the shore
To the place where I would jump
Away from the things that defined me

I'm a bad actor
With a bad prompt
I'm a bad liar
With a bad intention

I'm getting older with a bad trust
Now that the trees have been cut
All the rust on the gates
The biggest sign of the times

Now I watched people's lives
Slowly just passing me by
All the things that I never become
Will be buried down deep at dawn
