Steady your feat

For the beat beneath

Is something not easily beat

I struggle sometimes

Within my own thought

Who would have thought

That a mind so strange

Would be plagued by a world that appears so plain

The struggle I feel

It isn't unreal

But to find someone

Who would also become

The someone who would help me overcome

The pain inside

The white and the black

Faded to nothingness

Not even touching the life I see

Afraid in the dark of the light so bright

How to approach

How do I coach

The most and boast

But the question I ask is

How do I beat the beat beneath

How do I slay something I can't see

But it merely laughs as I oversee

The flaw that happens to only be me

Sometimes I wonder what my place is

It feels like nothing, if this is all there is
