Water Wall

Don't act surprised, little guy.

Don't pretent you didin't know

what happens when you shake the sea,

Don't act like God didn't tell you why

the guilt can't hide behind your eyes,

Don't try to act surprised

when the legs that gave you gait,

collapse beneath the lazy weight

of delayed procrastination,

Don't pretend you didn't waste my time

with all your whys,

drowning me in theiving lies

and profound deliberations,

It has all become too clear to me,

our incompatibility

is based upon a truth

that obligation cannot see,

Every move you never make,

is all your life will ever be,

and weathering each water wall

has somehow given tall connection

to an anchor

not a shelter from the sea,

You know I have grown weary,

So do not act surprised,

for whether or not you have the gall

to survivie the next horrific water wall,

Either way,

it'll be

without me
