in the contest

a humble honest submission

you don't want to know the real me

as it would be rather dark honestly

saying that i care as i walk away and stare

passing by the true life's mission

knowing i am afraid of what i'm missin'

yet i sleep at night with divine dreams

and question not what really seems

silly though i justify my inaction

trying not to claim satisfaction

with letting all be in fate's hands

not making any selfish demands

feeling, somewhat, like i missed the point

crying inside as i lie and anoint

some other king in a land faraway 

to whom i bend over, worship and pray

leaving me alone here in torment

simple words symbolize my lament

of my heart or my head with a teary eye

spilling my life as i slowly die.
