The Mold of You

Instigating my perception

Still, they look the other way

A feedback loop of disaffection

The narration stays the same

The city will chew you up

And spit you out on the street

Where the neons lie

And the chrome will not save you

I walk at the edge of truth

Reach my hand inside

To break from the mold of you

Identify

Personify

My life

A faulty map of self-reflection

Where your mind coagulates

An unachievable perfection

And the drive to stay the same

The city will make you crawl

And won’t allow you to breathe

The neons will fall

And the chrome will outlast you

I walk at the edge of truth

Reach my hand inside

To break from the mold of you

Identify

Personify

Requalify

Reclassify

My life
