This fool
Yes, I made mistakes
I admit it doesn’t look good
Not that my intelligence can be questioned
My heart vetoed my head
I registered the anomalies
as I was led down the garden path
See I hoped to be a sheep
blissful on some meadow somewhere
cheery in my ignorance
expecting the best to fall in my lap
checking in with the herd
keeping up with the fun
never missing out
posting the highlight reel
then came the wolf
see he lurks everywhere
even in your mind
I fell prey
living on the other side of the moon
cold truth knows no comfort
but I make my peace with it
It’s my deliverance
learn it for yourself
realize pain is universal
no one escapes
when the bubble pops
and you cant tell up from down
then it will be clear
there are no betters
whatever defences we set
cant outfox life
hungry we all are
man cannot live on bread alone
lets not make a meal of each other
