Snake Eats Tail
New thoughts, new places and faces.
I find myself where you were.
I’m feeling things you felt
…Dealing with a similar hand you’d been dealt.
I had vowed not to be here and here I am.
A great disappointment to myself.
When you betray the promises you’ve made.
Break a promise to yourself.
So I’m feeling what you’ve felt.
Saying words you may have said.
I want to get your thoughts, but
…I cant get into your head
...Then does it even matter?
Is it a loss of integrity when weaken your standards,
but it was only to yourself, You say it was only to yourself.
It is unfortunate but all too common.
It is around every corner.
It is in every classroom.
Every street corner.
Every workplace (Every) every.
I don’t want to be the one, but here I am.
I’ve seen you and you and you go through,
and now it’s me, me, me.
I never thought the mirror, would look this ugly.
(Words fail, they fail me, my words, fail).
I know that you were once here.
I remind myself of that, because somehow it makes me feel better.
If I could be half the man you are I’ll be OK.
But how will they?
Cause in your time you seemed to do so well.
Model to me that I needed and you did so well.
When I try to tell you, what I’ve wanted to tell you.
But the words fail me.
The words fail me time and time again the words fail.
Time and time again the words fail.
Sure enough, actions speak but you can not deny this screaming.
