Here I lay content
I took mine happy pills
Neither highs nor lows ‘no emotions
From which to feel, to grip or write
Becomin numb,
With little care, and strange vagueness’s of time;
I see no more beauty in a darken place
I see no more strange horrors of love,
I only see obligations & my duties.
Becoming socially acceptable,
When the artist in me dies
I took mine happy pills
Neither highs nor lows ‘no emotions
From which to feel, to grip or write
Becomin numb,
With little care, and strange vagueness’s of time;
I see no more beauty in a darken place
I see no more strange horrors of love,
I only see obligations & my duties.
Becoming socially acceptable,
When the artist in me dies

Duties and obligations slay art.
This was an interesting introspection as a writer.
I hate social confines too.

Re. Contentment
I can totally relate to this in ways no one will ever understand. This seems like it unfolded pretty well, and it was easy to follow, without getting caught up in interpretation. The 3rd stanza may be such (to be caught up in interpretation), but yeah, the difficulty and battle of the mind can hinder that process. Hope all is well, friend. Thanks for sharing. Are there any recommendations that you have of your work for me to check out? Please, no sexually explicit stuff, heh.

Great contemplating and insights!
Becoming socially acceptable is a trap!.
Never ever let your inner artist die!
