A shitty mystery.

Step by step and pair to pair,
This inconsistent dance,
It's all to avoid despair,
But at second glance,
we've left it all to chance.

Our growth is imminent,
But convergent,
Should we be rash for fake coal,
Or shy to pick until we're whole?

I've known enough to see fate,
I've known enough to know
that what I said, was just fake.
I can't know it all, not even a little.

This isn't destiny, its elasticity,
This blue mammoth holds us captive,
And yet we run wild and free,
Playing by simple rules and needs.

Would you give it all for a chance?
A glimpse at immortality.
Would you die a proud warrior?
One who lived and loved, but was quickly lost.

History is quick to swallow,
Its excrement is an assortment of randomness,
You dare to fight and live for greatness,
But only you can define it.

History will not choose the greatest,
It will not choose the immortals,
It will choose as it may please,
Always unpredictable, such a tease.

It's like looking for 14 or 15,
but getting 92.

They say the third time is the charm,
But you have to try a little harder,
You're baking history, but when you're gone,
what's left is a shitty mystery.

A small quote I came up with as I was going to bed last night, felt it was worth sharing: Don't buy depreciating assets unless they are a necessity and if so, buy them depreciated.

The light came through, Your peaceful smile, in truth. The surreal was still at bay But I did not know what my words would convey. I heard the silence pedal, I spent the days winning medals Hoping to protect my heart By covering it with metal. I'm trying to explain these walls, The shields and simple fears, I hope they don't reflect you away, But I do not know if you can stay. I buried myself deep within Behind this thick armor My wounds had frozen As I lay there, I burned the roses. A little heat was a sweet reminder Of my burnt past The loving pleasure and pain I ran from what would always remain. So when I glanced at you in disbelief, It was hard to mutter past my walls, But you saw past them with your own, By admitting what I had never known. The vulnerabilities we touch Let us know we are loved They acknowledge our shame And let us play our game With a silly smile, I finally got the courage I finally had the nerve, To yell past my wall...
