stumbling, an ant has lost his way

a voice of clarity replaced today

a lonely voice against a sea of rules;

organization transforms men from fools

musing o’er the might of the masses—

devoid of calm, still, stasis

all of this anxiety
swelling up in me
has invited me to think: what do i really see?

if dreams are just illusions
and life is but a blur
i dont see the need for greed;
‘cause we’ll all float for sure

my life is not a mystery
for my brain does all the work,
but what is my body left with
when my brain’s such a jerk?

ameliorations abound, 
yet no happiness has been found
for i still fear the day
that i’m stuck in the ground

i don’t try to impose
i want to improve
i just wish i were different
i just wish i were you
