Self-education

Postby Edgewise » Mon Jul 03, 2006 12:47 am

Educating myself in the rules of life,
Home field advantage,
Learning from my plight,
Like a baby catching it’s first sight,
Each new day brings a new lesson,
Such is the case tonight.

Loosing myself in the machinations of the ego,
Perhaps I have gone to far, to far to let myself go,
But as the clock ticks on,
The time goes slow,
I find myself wandering through the space of vertigo.

My own mind is a world unto itself,
As I am sure is your own,
The land of our dreams,
Our schemes and such things,
We learn through what we’ve been shown.

Mentally unsound,
Yet fit to drive,
Towards that dead end called death,
It is good to be alive,
As my soul is on fire,
To new heights I aspire,
Only to jump off the cliff,
Such is the way I would like to die.

Call it perverted,
Call it weird,
Call it selfish,
It is what I hold dear,
To die a better man,
As one who never compromised,
His soul for his goals,
I hope I find my dreams realized.
I bought me an illusion,
And I put it on the wall,
I let it fill my head with dreams,
And I had to have them all.
