hear me anyway


stop the think tank
aimed to destroy
on the path
wherever it may lead
only follow with speed
pick up where left alone
to figure it all out
all are struggling to come to terms
with what is going on
hear the scream

sunk deep down
dirty hands wash repeatedly
tortured for who knows what
it all might mean
need to work a little harder
to clean the dirt off
from the top back down to the bottom
can't cut the hand off might never come clean
can only try harder each time

cars will speed passed another milestone
left turned upside down from where it came
up with all these false hopes and dreams
are never as great as they are in the mind
might explode someday might even get to see
another smile and return the generosity
or greed or whatever faced will be overcome

watch if you like that sort of deconstructing of the mind
a terrible thing to use too often stuck with only it
might never make sense to anyone around
don't even know don't have the time to complete one
never mind the sympathetic return
turning the heart back on determination
to make it last time confidence reached so high
got snowed in and stuck

what's the purpose in these lines
see circles forming barely enough time
to hear the words are only words
repositioned to confuse those following
leading or reading or thinking
about plans for tomorrow
won't remember by then these words
anyway so what's the use
in standing here
me anyway...
