Beneath the Pendulum

Beneath the Pendulum

 

My soul is not 

Of this world

I never understood 

What others 

Expect of me

I strive to do 

What’s right

Then others say 

My priorities 

Are wrong

Maybe I don’t 

Belong in this life

Yet why else 

Would I be here

Does the personality 

Evolve

Or does it emerge

I suppressed mine 

For so long

Am I releasing… me

As I always was

Or is it who I’m 

Becoming?

The soul cleanses 

The ego

What a concept

My ego was 

Battered around 

So much

It’s amazing 

There’s anything left

I’m not so awful

Why do I feel like a loser

Like I don’t 

Deserve to win

Yet I strive

How do I heal?

They tell me 

Turn my personality 

Inside out but

Gold lies 

Hidden 

Within my heart
