My Only Gift Poem by Gary Diamond

arrival the end of the journey.
i been travelling a long long while.
turn my head on it's side so i can see the world as you do.

i don't want to know what you know
i want to be there and make those
big mistakes myself.

you're losing, you're drowning
so what the hell do you know.

i won't learn from other peoples mistakes
i'll make my own and go from there.
when i hit my 25 i'm sure i'll lose my fear.

i see the world from a different angle
and that's my only gift.
you can figure out this system
and see how wide the rift.

power is corruption; it goes all the way to the top.
with so many fingers in so many pies you swear
you'll never stop.
