the inept

all i did was want

i wanted you for myself

and nobody else.

you said you were a free spirit

yet you are held back

held back by yourself.

i am held back

not by myself

but by society.

we are similar

different

but similar.

life is too short

too short to be held back

held back by abstract restraints.

restrained by abstract repression 

your captivity can be seen

seen only by the chosen.

you are stuck in fantasy

waiting for the path

the path to realism.

i live in reality

the truth

deprived of simple fantasy.

knowing the struggle

the struggle of being stuck

stuck between worlds.

you are no expert

i am no pundit 

we are the inept.
