it was one of those moments
i wasn't angry
i wasn't sad
suburban level crazy, yes
but i knew i wasn't mad
i wasn't tired
i wasn't asleep
i was somewhere in between
as i lay there alone
with my thoughts
between the lulls
of both external
and internal wars
i was able to take stock
compiling rudimentary scores
one by one hungry doubts signed in
reminding me
as they slowly gnawed
that i, like so many others
i am uniquely flawed
still my chill it hasn't thawed
i may have wept,
as i came to accept
that like everybody else
i am uniquely flawed
dancing to a different song
tripping on my own feet
the soundtrack of my life being scored
subtle symphonies, soulless screeching
i am uniquely flawed
between these thin lines that we all give
a little light shines on the who we live
confused at times but never bored
because you, me and everybody
we are all uniquely flawed

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
