From Zero

I'm done with this incompatible state of mind

Reality is what I define

All I need is to realign


Too many hours looking for truth I'll never know

Truth is I never knew where to go

Neither with nor against the flow


Heart racing for something that does not exist

Recollecting opportunities missed

Mental barriers to resist


Make myself do it

Push myself through it

Otherwise I'll end up where I began

Playing into my shadow's hand


The future is a double edged sword

To contemplate beats head against board

The future cuts both friend and foe

A blade that delivers hope and sorrow

And I can't even understand the present


A coin toss of who I could and will fail to be

And I don't want to believe in destiny

Catch and balance it on the side

To see if it could, if it could be done, if it will be done

That is what I decide


Sitting on my ass in this incompatible state of mind

Watching everything I want fall behind

Wondering if I even wanted anything at all

Hoping this balance will not fall


I never desired anything, no meaning in anything, no need for anything

I've never hoped to be anyone, never wanted to see anyone, never needed anyone

Here I am doing nothing, through my eyes see nothing, in my heart feel nothing

But I don't want to be this way anymore

Can't go on like this anymore

I need something more

Because if I don't, I won't be able to keep living anymore

I want to go somewhere

I want to need someone

And when I find the emptiness again, the hollow of feeling's lack thereof again, when drive is at an end

I'll make my own
