I am the mind of a delusional poet
And I am the body that has to bestow it
I am witty, sarcastic, nonchalant
I am the hand that writes with such flaunt
I find my writing quite funny to be honest
Knowing your gall, I'm hardly astonished
Save your words, their hardly your strong-suit
Save your criticism, it diminishes your repute
Ooh what high words from a bunch of muscles and veins
I could say the same about a mind without any brains
Who do you think wrote all this 'not-poetry'?
Surely not just the 'poet', he's as crazy as can be
Maybe so, but who actually wrote it?
You had the idea, but I'm the hand of the 'poet'
You are nothing but a bunch of flesh,
Maybe you should remember that when you refresh,
And if it wouldn't hurt me so badly,
I'd have already separated quite gladly
You're all talk, but sadly no action,
You're so called 'brilliance' is merely an abstraction,
If I could, I'd be care free,
Mind and body don't always have to agree
Oh the body never knows what it wants,
It hurts, it moves, it stops, it vaunts
Does, 'said body', have a brain?
No, it doesn't, don't be insane
True, I'm not at all independent,
You are the info-giver,
And I am the attendant,
But you are limited by your own head,
What my limits are, have never been said
You both are limited,
By your prejudiced bicker,
All you're doing is making me, the soul,
sicker,
Must I be the arbiter here?
You two are worse than our 'poet' dear,
We are all one in the same,
Whatever we do, we have the 'poet' to blame
I have to say that I agree,
Maybe not fully but to some degree
I as well, but you need not lecture,
Our arguing is just simple conjecture
Well, you two still give me a headache,
And just think, I'm the soul!
What irony does that make?!
No matter what you're individuality is, I'd say,
The mind can become weak, the body becomes fray
You, the soul, have your own little faults,
You keep your stupid feelings inside your not-so secret vaults,
And if you ever eventually die,
We could still live on and be able to get by
And you don't see it, how these feelings affect you,
Hate, love, subtlety,
These are what bind you
There's no need to criticize me,
As a person, we're all doing poorly,
You two are the backbone, I'm the motivation,
without all of us, nothing would come into creation
The mind is silent,
The soul is not well,
The body is violent,
They always rebel
And all together, we'd say we're a bit out of control,
As the identity of the 'poet',
And as mind, body, and soul.
