Out of Love

His feathers remained white
Pure as newly fallen snow
But his heart had turned black
Black as the feathers of the flock he follows
Then you realize
That maybe and quite possibly
This is the start
The start of opening your eyes
To oppose your crow
And begin the process
Of falling out of love
With such a disgusting and deceiving creature
Who painted its wings white
When their true color was black
Planning, planning, figuring it out
Crystal clear caricatures clouded by doubt
Confidence and faith full on display
Insecurities and fears - inside they stay.
They build and they grow till they tear you apart
Till you're relapsing, no more relaxing you're forgetting your part
you're supposed to be the beacon of hope and aspiration
yet you're in your dark room with a fake gun to your head in desperation
writing a poem to try and find some form of release
the music isn't helping as much as you need
trying to find the balance between your fantasy
and this 'reality' so many seem to be deadlocked in belief
I say it is what it is, but it isn't I

But of course, those answers only surface more questions; How did you get that name if you're merely some wild animal? Furthermore, how can you be a shark if you have a body like a man's? Why is your trek urgent, and how has it lasted so
