What has gotten into me?

Dashing Geek Keeping it Fake asked:


In Spite of Myself - another awful poem by D. Geek.

Looking down, from below,
I learn the things you cannot know.
I see the world that you lay waste;
I touch the things you cannot taste.
I hear the things you cannot speak,
I taste the things that make you weak.

Looking up, from above,
I can see the things you love.
A child’s laugh, a lover’s smile,
You value these, for a while.
Then off you go, in your pursuits,
Wasting all your labor’s fruits.

Does the laughter ring? Do the smiles remain?
Is there joy or is there pain?
It’s all there, to give or take.
What are you leaving in your wake?
The subtext of your life, you see,
Is very, very plain to me.

Looking up, from above,
I see the things you do not love.
You spend your time; you earn your keep,
But the costs incurred are very steep.
From up above, from down below,
I see the world that loves you so.

    I like it! I’m not a talented lyricist or poet, but I know good stuff when I sees it.

    Encore, but this time I want to you to play the mini-bongo while I snap my fingers.

    I fear that Geek has come unhinged
    Victim of a Quang Bang binge
    He sees through others hopes and fears
    Yet constantly avoiding mirrors
    For if his sights were turned within
    To analyze his every sin
    Would he be proud or hide in shame
    Or possibly burst into flames…
