Strange Warrior



Consistent resistance glancing from the planned distance.
Struggle to grasp broken love from the past
Alas I’ve settled knowing I’m a rebel but where is the rebellion?
A warrior with no cause grows a callous heart.
Flowing to the will of others, my mother taught me better.
Looking from the outside as i observe the world.
Every time I attempt to participate I’m wash down a river I’ve never wanted to be in.
Disappointing and disappointed, anointed with an special ability to f*ck everything up.
