A Sad State of Affairs Feelings of mistrust plague my mind Beg steal borrow return in kind Apprehension blocks my way Appears as though it's here to stay And I can not seem to refrain From hiding my disdain For those who think they see Who I am what I will be Circumstantial evidence left behind Predetermination more than one occasion Circumstantial evidence left behind Intentional observation one more stipulation A sad state of affairs from the outside looking in Only one exception visual misconception A sad state of affairs from the outside looking in Recognize perception witness the deception Shadows fall misfortunes are dealt Dulls my senses pain I've felt Tragedies befall my path Always facing others wrath |
