I'm Not Surprised


I'm Not Surprised

I'm bored the stillness
Do a Cato on me
Wake up my sleeping curiosity
Push me into a run
Make me have to question my routines
My talent is wasting away
On hunger strike till the day starts to wink at me again
Life is boring when it's too tame.

Acting is tiring
Where did excitement go?
The sum of today tells me to stand up tall
I need the hand of fate to slap me awake
I'm a genius bored by the mundane
Jump out of the shadows
Give me problems and puzzles and more setbacks
I'm not surprised
I can dream no more
Jump down from the trees
Breaking all the branches
Shout out for my attention
When I'm lost, in the fog dead ends
Boo, Applaud, Throw me an unexpected compliment
Surprise my second guess, my third, my fourth..
I know the beginning, The middle, the ending
Everyday is a slow death
Are you surprised, I'm not surprised anymore
Every taste blends into the same
Don't feel the highs, Never drop down to the lows
Ambush my senses
Catch me off guard
Catch me off balance
Catch me half in a breath
Do a Cato on me
Day after day holds no surprises
Tired yawns worn down by life
Are you surprised that I am not surprised anymore?

Unpublished New Poem

World Of Villains Hive minded satellites, float above the seas of thought Impartial observers take bets on how long apathy can yawn In limbo as gigantic hands keep on spinning the globe Keep on confusing the sanity of certainty The soul of the nations is poisoned Some swear it came through the clouds Some claim it was dormant until hatched inside us We live in a world of villains It doesn’t make sense, because it isn’t meant too So we wait to be saved, it’s always been this way The merging of normality and super enhanced capability Because in a parallel world, a world where we are All Stan Lee’s creations V TOPP

Unpublished New Poem

Snow Angels   Snow angels appear in the corner of our vision Blinking icy tears that scatter like silence Mourning for the glimpses of past innocences That with every footprint made become further away in the hearts and minds. Do you get frightened when on your own? Do you feel so quiet in this noisy world? The snow angels will melt And most will never know this V Topp

Mental Wealth

Mental Wealth This is my place, This is yours You can come back to who you really are here The dreamer stays To taste the rain The nature's rust Tans the skin As the birds make music again With the only conductor being the new day Home is here. Here is always home Do you know where you belong? I do, I do Watching a grey squirrel pat down his buried treasure I saw him pretend five time before On his dummy runs, to confuse the competition This is where the real x marks the spot It's what i can see It's what i can hear It's what i can feel Flickering white glimpses of light The cracks of surprise Like timid ghosts Rain broke the silence of thinking The vibration is ringing like a bell Give me this beautiful vaccine For the sake of my mental wealth The only wealth I want V Topp
