Aa Harvey

I am an idiot

I am an idiot.

Still we are searching for a light in the dark.

Forward we march and still we have no knowledge of who we are.

Higher we climb towards shooting stars;

We are lost without guidance

And evolution is one step for mankind too far.

Stuck in reverse; heading nowhere fast.

Take a step back, to take another look at what we had.

A thing that was never truly seen,

But imagined and so soon it was in the past.

So we keep on going in the wrong direction.

Blind to all future wisdom; lost without a kingdom.

No place to place my heart at your feet, for a home I lack

And I have no crown that is not broken, that I can use for a hat.

A false self-bestowed title of King I placed upon myself.

A lie about a man who lives in his own personal Hell.

A wish to be more; but impossible without your help.

A maze inside a garden is no place for the mind to dwell.

But stuck in a rut is my normality;

So tragic to see that you just can’t see me

And nobody can hear the words that I need to speak,

Because I am forever unknown to you

And that is the way it will always be.

Forget me not’s in your rose scented garden.

Remembering a voice; remember to share your wisdom.

For all are in need of your message of hope,

Because we lack any belief in anything and so,

We meander through your mind, splashing in every puddle.

A whispering wisp never before seen is showing you your double.

A reflection of your fate in the water; there is a presence.

We are now only a memory, for you are royalty

And I am simply a simple peasant.

No resentment on either side, but still no will to confide

And so inside a lie we hide the truth you wish you could find.

But we are not sharing, because you could never understand.

The words of a wanderer, who wonders;

Why are you not using the power within your hands?

Free me from my burden which I carry inside my head

And just let me forget you and the possibilities;

So I can just become oblivious.

I have a need to unload these words I have said,

But you refuse to listen; you will not take them,

Because you are a mystery to me

And we are the idiots.
