I understand myself above all else. I live this life, doing what I feel I must to survive. |
-Oneself- by Keaton Foster I know I understand Better than most Above all else Oneself No one else I’m here All alone All I know What I have Is this person Who I am Myself Oneself I am true To the lie I am certain Of the truth Well aware All of it Quite clear In darkness I see light In all else I see My own plight I fight A good fight I give this place And my case Hell I won’t relent I won’t break Nor bend I will do what I’ve come to do What I have to Oneself An ideological case Of a finite space Meant to be a lesson One lived and learned Many ideas Brooding within My illogical mind People Should not know Understand themselves As well as I do There should be surprise A sense of wonderment As to what could be next How could this end One should never see The page ahead Of the one they’re on Oneself By myself Alone I have to be Incomplete I seem But indeed Incomplete is what I am Least of all No being I know No idea I understand Is more complete Than the person I am Arrogance is not What this is This is a realization Via many of The darkest of days Days that would destroy Those lesser than I Days that would break The core of their spine And decimate their mind Those days and that time Has brought me here To this wicked waste Of a life born is haste All that I can do Is write these words Than no one reads Until I have no words Left to leave behind Oneself It’s a way That suites me well How I’ve come to live How I continue to survive… Oneself Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2016. |
