The Plagiarized Archives

By antiScripsony

I admit it's not the first time
I can't figure me out
With a little bit of courage
And a little bit of effort
I go the wrong way some days
I never said it would be easy
But it's hard to live in the spectre
Of later and later

I'm hungry enough to fall asleep

It's been too long since I fed my ego
I'm an anomaly
Or that's what I'd like to be
It's about time I made the switch to caffeine free
It's too far gone to make effort
I'm cheating on you
I'm stealing from you
And if no one thinks I did it well it's all just A++ OK

"The sidewinder sleeps on his back"

I'd like to say I'm egotistical
To the point where I doubt the worth of self-worth
I offer you my gentlest advice
If you keep trying you'll end up bored
If one more person tells me I'm great
I might go another inch deeper
The odds are steeper this time
That I'll give up before I try

It's my legendary nineteen-eighty-four
Accustomed to what I'm accustomed to
It's the fantastic, yet uninspired
Archived work from October
It's my clashes and my anguish
That I find myself so ashamed of
I'd like to forget my past
It's my subremembered artifact

I like to have a free-form day
That stretches to the night
If you fuck with my orders I could start a fight
And everything okay a day away
I feel like going subconscious
I'm shaking and ruining all my teeth
Remind me, please why I
Hate to leave this room

It's the uninformed uniformed
The battles that I run naked and scared from
It's the irony of empathy
And how kicking my shins gives you a finger to the face
It's canadian television
It's the tangling of these ropes
It's the rephrasing of my hopes
It's my favorite time of day

It's my legendary nineteen-eighty-four
Accustomed to what I'm accustomed to
It's the fantastic, yet uninspired
Archived work from October
It's my clashes and my anguish
That I find myself so ashamed of
I'd like to forget my past
It's my subremembered artifact

And if there was anymore in store
I'd let you see it
Or maybe not

    You always manage to draw me in . . and part of it is how insane I go knowing I don't know everything you're thinking. There is so *much* in this one, that I could read it a million times. I especially like the "uninformed uniformed" stanza.

    The originally-phrased imagery in this is excellent; "It's my subremembered artifact" particularly appeals to me... lovely write. :)
