I screw up badly sometimes

 Weltanschauung

 

1.You don’t know me, I’m an eclipse,

The dark parts are the ones you miss,

The silver lining’s when I smile,

But that only lasts a short while.

 

2.You don’t know me, I’m like a snake

And when the old winter skin breaks,

That’s when I break free yet again,

It happens every now and then.

 

3.My old poems sound kind of lame,

I am, in fact, a bit ashamed,

My Weltanschauung changed in time,

I only keep them for the rhyme.

 

4.I don’t know me, I tend to rip

The fruit before they become sweet,

My roots before they become strong,

To write new poems, sing new songs.
