Seek Calm

All or nothing perfection
In an attempt to snuff the competition
Consistently projected on us
Repetitive and persistent

Media, politics, and religion
Superstitions and distortion
By insecurities
That persist from metamorphosis

When all the mis and disinformation
Delve and dwell
Turns into helplessness
Fearfulness, and jealousy spells

No-one admits incoherence 
Exists within themselves
The inability to distinguish
A reality realm

Anything and everything
That's peddled from all directions
Becomes heavy with distress
Constant distraction oppression

Adolescence is radically obsessed
Elders no better
Whenever theres magic advert
To avert our attention

Left with emptiness and bitterness
Anxiety jitters mixed
With sprinkling of despair
Lingering like stale air

Energy weary from strain
Our made ball and chain
When life doesn't reflect
Fairy tale balls and parades

And that's ok
Because honestly who wants disney plots
If we stopped constant consumption 
We might be offered some calm.
