I've accepted what took years to see
That this is all I'll ever be
And dreams will cause the death of me
A fate I can't allow
I cannot want, can't yearn for more
Than this which I have settled for
To pull my weight, while weak and sore
And find my peace somehow
I've purged myself of passion, pride
Of confidence, esteem, and snide
And all which can't be gratified
So why should I stop now?
Dreams derail me, make me blind
Spread seeds of hope throughout my mind
To let them die, leave me behind
And thus I disavow
