Why is my meaning<\/p>\n
So painfully obvious<\/p>\n
To everyone except me<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll never be mysterious<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to be!<\/p>\n
Rather be misunderstood on my own term<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am an opened-mouth-secret<\/p>\n
And my depths are profound<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
–not intellectual<\/p>\n
Just,<\/p>\n
Like a cube has many faces<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The merging is painful<\/p>\n
Shaving down the edges<\/p>\n
Borders grown of shame<\/p>\n
Inside becomes out<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I pursue it in earnest<\/p>\n
I give up the comfort to become honest<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What funny little shells we wear and adorn with lies<\/p>\n
As if they cannot see the crooked way we lurch<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I ought to become like a chameleon<\/p>\n
Go read a fucking saurology book then get back to me on that<\/p>\n
