Black Swan by Garathe Den

I can see them staring at me in peripheral
And that's enough to muster all anxiety
Yet while the whole world in a sense seems hypocritical
I cannot help to fend myself off from its piety

You see divorce is something love just cannot comprehend
Yet I know that there are hearts consumed in gossip
And in this sea of life that's bobbing, I search for my friends
But the lie is often bigger than colossus

The isolation that I feel, it must be phantoms
To which the act to offer hand could break illusion
And yet subconsciously my worries are in tantrum
Till all reason fades away to noise pollution

Please don't get me wrong, I know I am no victim
There's more hope inside my heart than ocean waters
Yet there are times, distracted, I'm fooled by the systems
That seek to sacrifice my soul upon the altar

Than I spread my wings, head held high
And I notice, eyes turned audience now gleam
Seeing how they envy, angered at the skies
Silently hoping I crash to their stagnant schemes

Labeled me the black swan yet I am still beaming
This light a transcending radiant flare
Eyes captivated, blinded and fleeing
From the hopes lost and no longer dared

Now reaching to the heights that I aspire
Far beyond the worshiping of men
The universe, expanse to be admired
Where eternity will never meet its end

If it's a fairy tale that they long of recital
I'll be a moral to the story that's forgotten
For the memory of them, wont keep past idols
Yet in humility all love has been begotten
