I’m Nobody to Somebody (I hope)

Within the mass of metaphors and symbolism

Do people see cynicism and masochism

Perhaps they believe by the next dawn my neck will be in a noose

Till the neck breaks and my body hangs loose

Despite my words' oddities, I mean no harm

And your alertness and skepticism, you should disarm

I can assure you I'm content and happy with my life

Even if I must explore trifles with a molten knife

Sometimes in life you must explore every inch for meaning

But a meaning that's unique to you, that's what's seeming

For me that's to explore the light with a rusty scythe

As well as the night with the sun in my palms to carefully navigate writhe

There are times in crisis where my words become a hurricane

But soon they shall dull into a revelation akin to sugar cane

My journey shall be a lengthy and liminal one

And will begin once more with the sun
