I Am
The monotony of the typical is so pathetic
Everyday people doing everyday things-
everyday
We relax and fall into a slump of bad relations
Striving for acceptance-
praying to persevere
The ones who reject society are the ones embraced by it
While the ones who crave approval only receive cheap compliments
and cheaper pain
I am the torture for the innocent and the prize for the exultant
I am the sword that shapes the clouds and pierces them to cause the rain
I am the highest of the high and the lowest of the low
Ever reaching further into the abyss to find the worthy
I am omnipresent and extinct -
all around and gone
Try to curb my appetite but don't claim to know my song.
