humankind

A demi-God among semi-devils

Never alone I’ve always had the judgement and critiques

To keep me company

How dare I reject the pressure?

Forge my own path and ambitions

Surely a one-way ticket to destruction

And yet, I look at the daggers stuck in the trees behind me

If only Cupid had such weak aim

My love made me a “degenerate”

My love made me open my eyes

I’ll be running, skipping and flying

Until the next asteroid comes ablaze

Men, Women and Children

Penis, Pussy and Pacifiers

I am bored out of my mind

A formula tested, true and sometimes toxic

The liquor is poison to the brains of its victims

I presume that never quite stopped me before

Only I hate the taste of liquor

And you loved it

When you believed you had the upper hand

It is not me without faults, it is me without your control.

I paid my fines and dues

My improper consequences

For defying the mold

You all casted for me

However

In retrospect

No one ever did listen to me

When I said “I am human”

Labels and projection

Sticks and Stones

You can't box me in

If I am meant to stand out

...and while they were conforming

I was redefining

Does that make me crazy?

I might be crazy
