If I keep screaming
About the things I don't understand
And you keep screaming about the things
You don't understand
Then everyone ends up confused
But it's our nature
Right
Fire and ice
Narcissism and pessimism
Cause division and solipsism
Yeah, whatever
So there I am
Pushing a rock up a mountain
Just to watch it slip out of my hands and roll back down
Inches away from the summit
How many times can I try and fail
Until I fail to try
Do I even have another breath left to breathe
Damn
This is exhausting
But we've known this for thousands of years
Right
Not we, you and me
But we
Humanity
That there's Venus and Mars
Love and War
But it's curious
Because I can barely decide which of us is which
Or maybe we're both
You know
Both
Though, I'm supposed to be Hara
The destroyer
And you're supposed to be peace
So in name at least
The answer's obvious
But what's in a name
Other than an intention
And when have I
Ever
Lived up to my intentions
It doesn't really matter though
Because I know that I'm psychotic
Psychotically optimistic
I do what I have to
Because it's
Who
I
Am
So I might turn away
From Sanskrit
Hara
The destroyer
And become the Greek
Hara
Joy
Then you can go from the roman
***
And become the Greek
Aphrodite
Or maybe that's a pipe dream, too
Though I have been told that love never fails
So tell me, my love
Did we fail?
