Bored By The Norm

Bookmark
Summary:
I penned this last night. My mind is kinda between lyrics & poetry at the moment. Instead of maybe thinking wiser I decided to roll with it. Appreciate you. - Damian DeadLove

Each confession a breadcrumb 

Haven’t got all the answers yet

Same pattern a different drum

Raw silence equals heavy debt

 

Numbers change for a price

Depending on if you play along

Trusting no one is sound advice

Said some old forgotten song

 

Explain the fundamental illusion 

That leads to getting fucked again

How is it a logical conclusion?

To help promote the constant spin

 

Poisoned by the well 

Death has taken root

Humid dreams swell

Before getting the boot

 

One-sided conversation

Being told to conform 

I’m an outside observation 

Who’s bored by the norm

    1. First this can be both a poem and a song, it has the beat of a song. Second, You said in your note that instead of thinking wiser You rolled with it, but truth to be said your poem from first line to the final is all wisdom. For me this is a monologue with the inner self to make sense of what is not sense, To be aware of everything that happened and what is needed to be changed, the “had enough” and welling to breaking the patten of the same repeation is felt in the final verse, your poems always has a personal feeling and that make them special.

    2. Oh damn, that last verse hit hard. After each of the other verses, it became a hammer of defiance. I’m not sure I believe in a norm. It always just strikes me as others expecting you to be more like them. Meet them at their level because they’re too lazy to move. To evolve. No thank you. This is another strong piece. And I think just rolling with it worked out beautifully, my friend
