Insight into Darkness: Poetic Truth

Insight into Darkness: Poetic Truth

Sickness in the family

Not satisfied with what they get
always wanting more
expecting more than you can give
grinding to the floor

You give an inch
they take a mile
But still expecting
you to smile

and even that's
not enough
they still want the
idealistic stuff

Your putty
for them to shape
a task for them
to undertake


There's no diversion
from the normal route
all rules are fixed
and absolute

They wonder why we
don't come near
to them
it's not very clear

They feel not wanted
rejected
and why

They are so lost
their souls do cry

In return you feel guilty
and cruel
obliged to follow
the golden rule

For this they say
they will be so glad
but it would only
make me sad


The conflict here
 hurts inside
for freedom of self
they would
deprive

They have themselves
but want your life too
and if not obtained
the guilts on you

But its not your fault
they are this way
so why should it be
you to pay?







Just live your life
how you please
and don't catch the family
disease

( 3 July 1987 student years)
