Serenity

Hello spectator; farewell serenity

I could shout less

But then you'd just talk over me

And I need attention

"I'm just another kid with a guitar,"

And if you're searching for a light

Don't expect me to spark

I will soon die out

My voice will give in

I'll get a real job

Dream of where I've been

While you're comfortable

I'll be catching up

Contemplating death

When I've wasted life long enough

I was seventeen when I invested love

In this make-believe

Life turned to cluster-fuck

But I'm in good company;

I've got that at least

So I'll make my impression

In hopes you'll remember me

But if there's light behind the storm

I'll never halt progression

I will live past all misfortune

And deplete all adolescence

Having deep poetic heart

Lacking all poetic fame

I'll keep clandestine for eternity

And no one will speak my name
