Captivated, encapsulated
Inebriated and deactivated
I been emasculated, intoxicated
Precipitated, then confiscated
Alienated, lost for words
Incarcerated, like jailbirds
Permeated, infused with dust
Uncalculated, yet still nonplussed
It’s a lifelong lesson I keep unlearning
It’s my confession with the fires burning
A lost concession, the gears are turning
Modest profession, but my wheels are churning
It’s a glue-gun wedding with the gown unthreading
My needle is getting enmeshed with the hay
I’m paper shredding, identity forgetting
A phosphorous netting, unhinged all the way
Percolated, contra-indicated
Elevated and improperly vetted
Calculated, inundated
Perpetuated, stamped and post-dated
Emulated, looking for the right words
Subdivided like the rule of thirds
Under-rated, well that’s nothing new
Over-achieving gives me something to do
It’s a lifelong lesson I keep unlearning
It’s my confession with the fires burning
A lost concession, the gears are turning
Modest profession, but my wheels are churning
It’s a glue-gun wedding with the gown unthreading
My needle is getting enmeshed with the hay
I’m paper shredding, identity forgetting
A phosphorous netting, unhinged all the way
I said “I’m not ready!”
I’m not ready, I’m not ready for this!
I was born unready, my feet are unsteady
And I’m really not ready for this
I said “I’m not ready!”
I’m not ready, I’m not ready for this!
I was born unready, my feet are unsteady
And I’m really not ready for this
