DarkPoetry -|- TheBardOfBlasphemy -|- Aren't you?

Aren't you?

I wonder…

Do you really know what it feels like?

I didn’t think so.
It’s because you are ignorant
And furthermore
You are blind.

I ponder…

Whether you will ever find the strength
To open up your eyes.

But I don’t think so.
It’s because you are blind
And furthermore
You don’t know what it feels like.

I am troubled by this…
Because you haven’t the faintest idea
What it really is.

It’s certainly tragic to be blind
But it is a nightmare to see life
In real life
With screaming eyes wide open.

Right now I’m wondering…
Just how you will ever decide whether to live life
Inside a nightmare or a tragedy.

I don’t think you will
Because it’s already been decided for you

And furthermore
You would have hated this either way

Because ultimately

You and I

Are me.

i think you take the notion of "functionality" and run with it until it branches way beyond the socio-hemispheres the word once intended. and the work with the wording;I like several aspects of your work, including your ability to find meter and to chan

including your ability to find meter and to change it when wanting to shed tempos and make drum marches or slow crawls.
