&quot;As I hide behind these books I read, while scribbling my poetry,<br /> like art could save a wretch like me, with some ideal ideology that no one can hope to achieve.<br /> And I am never real; it is just a sketch of me.<br /> And everything I made is trite and cheap and a waste of paint, of tape, of time.&quot; - Bright Eyes


A hero
A king
Or at least he once was
Sits
Casteless
Crownless
In the mud of a recently fallen rain
Lightening
Thunder
Shattering the sky to pieces
His life
His dreams
They are so alike
Those eyes
Those tears
I feel the pain; Yet not the pity
He was
Used to be
My savior; So easily he could've ended our lives
My trust
This hallucination
Is broken
Or wounded
Casteless
Crownless
His kingdom comes crumbling down
