Some people.
Some people, will lie
Some people, will cheat.
Play dead
Play the martyr
Destroy all others
Regardless…of the outcome.
Never taking the blame
Never taking the fall,
And never feeling the pain
Of all others.
And someone once told me;
“That honest people don’t exist anymore in the 21st century”
And someone once told me;
“That love…is dead”
And perhaps, they were right.
But I am not a romantic
I am a romantic
I am the last rational man
With a soul.
I am the last human being left who still believes
In “The Way”
I have done the unavoidable.
I have done the unreliable.
And I have been the unwanted… as well.
“The Dead”
“The Living”
“The Risen”
So call me… what you will.
Do your best, or do… your worst.
But either way, know this;
That you can never win
A battle against a man
Who’s already gone head to head
With the universe
And “Lost”
