I`ve slipped the noose,
the shackles are off.
My maturity fixation
outshines.
It`s go for broke
and fuck it all,
with head held higher (than thou).
I am the man
that used to care.
Who was I then ?
So quizzical with foresight.
Now I`ve favoured to savour the flavour
of nine - to - five intuition.
Out with the old,
in with the new regime.
I sold my soul to the robotised dream.
Breaking bones of contention.
I`m just an empty shell
with integrity scooped out.
A painted smile,
a glass-eyed high on two
that can`t cry.
Touch me,
I`m cold to
the merits of (real) love.
I stepped back from the edge
when others slipped off.
And all because
society told me to.
