Gutter Angel
I've come to terms that...
Gutter speak and diamond eyes are just something that's a part of me
Spent my 20's dying and finally realizing
That life is meant to be as awe-inspiring
as it is boring
Trying to be someone you can smile at in the morning
When you're the kind of tired where you find yourself blowing off common courtesy
Bow your head with a makeshift grin and talk about the weather man's shitty reporting
I'm tired of feeling dumb,
trying to show off my intellect to keep up a shallow appearance
Since deep conversations mean nothing nowadays filled only with empty people and it's a,
staticky community breeding interference
Dressing it up like it's anxiety
But I'm a useless cog in the mechanism of society, where everyone is in teams,
Leading each other further away, getting distracted by whatever binds and anything that gleams.
I find my destination at whatever keeps me at bay
Not everything is a perfect as it seems.

This is a brilliant piece of ink you have spilled. Even if our society is on a daily spiral of retracting from an intellectual poet as yourself.
A profound conversation with someone who can articulate the depths of whatever it may be that you are trying to convey is absolutely possible when we seek artist such as ourselves ,rather than stay in the rut of complacency. Absolutely loved this✌
