Pendulum Swing
Swinging, still, swinging,
Back forth, forward backward,
Sideways, rightways,
...Diagonal.
My eyes are taking turns taking naps.
Looking at this pointless thing swing is truly pointless.
Truly... there are no points or sharp edges to this thing.
Oddly, it reminds me of me before I was me.
I'm like a pendulum swing.
When I was tired 10 years ago I am full of energy right now.
Huss up, 'right now' is no longer right now; I heard the clock tick.
When I was excited 10 years ago I feel nothing,
Or, is my pendulum held still in the middle right now?
Huss down, because the only way is downwards for me now.
Until then, it will be a while before I go upwards again.
By this, you'd assume "Does that mean you're sad?"
No! I don't mean emotions! with their swift snip of a moment.
Emotions aren't pendulums, they are light switches.
They are weighted by gravity, and they aren't graceful.
Spontaneous, impulsive. They bump, and stub their toes into everything.
So... disgustingly imperfect. Kind of pathetic, too.
So far, I have just been using the 9th letter of the alphabet.
"I, I, I..." it sounds just like a me-thing, is it?
But, do not consider me special! you are a pendulum swing, too!
I'm a pendulum swing in a field of other pendulum swings.
Everyone's a pendulum swing; nobody's special.
Think of a time when your mood drooped,
That's just your pendulum swinging in the other direction; it's regular.
The pendulum only works in your internal life.
I cannot help you if you were expecting to get rich in the future.
