comparing black to white
the absence of foresight
how burden kills the self
compare me to something else
look back at grievances
a percept from altered sense
expecting reconciliation
while the strive to change remains
at that of someone else’s
in the irony of what i said
a perception of someone else
and compare it to myself
as oppose to claiming time
i juxtapose to see the villain all for ties
in from out the line
we try so hard to find
our kinship since we met
then loop it out so i can’t bend and set to
fake-ascend
i’m rising to descend
the quest to be like them
leads to, calls to quench the thirst within, to try so hard and
attempt to escape, to instill, to confront it
but i still attempt to frustrate, to enslave, and indulge it unconsciously
