An Expression of Sentiments

[deafshady]

I've got a prevalent sentiment, that in my mind there’s a resident
that's nothing less than brilliant, resilient, and perhaps a little silly and
I still call it genius since even though at times, rhyming seemed tedious,
I've never been anything if not a guy who tries and is never lenient
Simple nonsensical nonsense I put on a paper, with every word coming out as a labor
While the joy of writing no longer being something that I am able to savor,
Because of pressure from expectations of greatness stemming from me
As the world and her inhabitants already decided who I should be.
They established a vision and I’m supposed to pursue it with all of my ambition,
Make it my mission, to work with more energy than that released from nuclear fission.
In this world, there’s people who have it all and people who earn it. I guess I’m part of the latter
I never received anything given to me on a silver platter. Rather, I just watched dreams of mine shatter
Whenever I tried to climb up this world’s ladder or reach out for ideals that I thought would matter.
Despite my failures, the people I know still rely on my potential
Saying its essential, stating that the path I set out on was existential
I’m their dancing frog, their guide with the light out of the dark, a symbol of dreams and goals,
the missing half to their whole; Rumpelstiltskin’s Gold, I mean I’m everything to these poor souls.
But yet now, I’ve got a sudden sentiment that I’m tired of playing such a role,
Letting that resident get crushed underneath ideologies in which he doesn’t believe
So now I’ll break free despite who it may cause some unbearable grief.
Or however it may seem wrong, in whoever’s point of view
Because this is one sentiment that I shall see through.


This was a relatively quick thing I wrote. Give me some feedback on what you think.
