The Run

Questioning all that I am, if I am
Through a new lens
A picture so dense

I compensate with various
Forms of release in excess
With success sometimes

They thought me rigid and plain
Straight down road to
Dissociation

No presence, no friend or foe
Just an audience member
Expected to play my role

I watch me as I fall prey
Content but in a numb way
Trying every skin on
Change it before it sticks on

The skies cry for me
Pouring infidelity
Betrayed my sense of self
Until it was all washed away

Still, it manifests
In roars of confessions
To strangers that I live with
But that couldn't care less

There was a time when I found
Freedom in the distance
But you see in the long run
The disconnect gets so obsessive

The run becomes the purpose
An ever-shortening circuit
An addiction to the outrage
The feeding of a ray, caged

I watch me as I fall prey
Content but in a numb way
Trying every skin on
Change it before it sticks on

I watch me as I fall prey
Content but in a numb way
