To Swim Upstream

They said

to stop daydreaming.

They told me

to face real Life.

Did that

Now I'm almost dead

inside.

Gotta bring me back.

Fuck everyone else.

They are human,

after all,

a human not so much better

than me.

So now I've made myself

this vow,

Don't listen to

anyone else.

Trust yourself.

Don't explain.

Let them complain.

Even when you're spinning

in circles,

In your virtual mind,

Don't look around

for some we one else's hand

to guide you.

You are wise

Beyond your knowledge.

The power stems from

your unconscious thoughts.

The ones that keep at you.

PAY ATTENTION!

You will not disappear

from this world

without impact.

Just do your thing,

amidst the beggars

all around you,

in their guise of

quick schemes,

their glitzy promise

of what they tell you

should be

dreams.
