Teaser

I just saw Black Swan and really enjoyed it! I'll post a full-fledged review in the next few days or so, until then, enjoy this poem:

Toolbox of Nothing

Society expects us to balance

They want us to humbly walk the line between self-loathing and self-righteousness

Society is giving us signs, pointing us in directions and muddling the ideas that compromise our minds

For years I followed strict moral codes, believing in my gut and following my faith

For years I followed in the footsteps of civilization

Never question, rarely realizing, hardly living

I don’t know what you would call me now

Sometimes I still wake up groggy and out of breath

Trapped by blankets, haunted by my dreams, annoyed with reality

I’m fed up with my lab grown expectations

And my myth defined definitions

Sometimes I wish I could just build a new world from scratch

But I can’t

I lost my hammer, and am out of nails

My tool box is empty

And whose fault is that?
