i am a raven
talons and beak and feathers
a thousand dreams
on the horizon
to chase and catch
i am building myself up on clouds and
ambition,
but all you can see is that i am different;
all you can say is that i should
stand in line with
everyone else and conform,
but i've never had any interest in being like
everyone else
i am me;
that's all i could ever afford to be
as they live in their glass houses with their noses held high
they are the wind signifying sound and fury
but they lost their meaning
a thousand moons ago
i'll always have
mine—
like the jabberwocky slain by alice
you will become nothing
as i destroy you under the crushing fang of oblivion
chasing all my dreams turning them into successes.
