Stone and Virtues
I dangled myself two carrots
Stone and Virtues
I've succeeded the first, never had the last
If I have to remind myself to be good
Then obviously I have failed
I'll never have your faith or joy
The best I can do is to be strong inside,
so the outside becomes believable
Even though I know, alone,
My heart will break again ech night.
What difference will it make
If I succeed the 4.3, yet never achieve
The virtue I saw in you, coveted and lost
Before I found the middle ground,
Moved over from the ditch to the pavement
Still being pulled off center,
Constantly fighting to the left
To appear as if I am getting better
Even though I know, alone
I will face myself only bitter.
