Not Me

Not Me
By Pelican.

My gaze firmly glued to the spot,
my emotions running over the place,
my concentration unmoved like an assassin, about to take a shot.

Oh am afraid but the expression is not written on my face,
feeling the weight of expectation on my shoulder,
carrying the armour of hope like a gun to a soldier.

Oh but deep down am scared,
doubts creeping inside my head,
"am i good enough to win and take all three points?"
your trust, i Don't wanna disappoint.

So i hope you understand,
i am just a man,
am not perfect, not even close,
your camera of expectations fixed on me ,
but i cant strike a pose.

You see me as a god,
but i see me as a fraud,
i hope you change your perception,
and stop seeing me as mr perfection,
cos am dying slowly, drowning in this sea of expectations.

Footsteps on mud

They are derelict structures Inhabited not even by flowing air They are tongues that osculate With no one but themselves Their eye...
