A Curiosity from Selfsame by Dylan Griggs

I used to give directions but I don't know where to go
So if you see a signpost let me know
I used to sing my sadness like it meant something to me
But now it's just a curiosity

And the strangest part
Of what I wrought
Is that it gets me by
So if you find
A purpose in life
Let me know
So that I can try.

I used to think that I contained the treasure and the key
But now they feel completely lost to me
My hubris had convinced me that the wind had finally died
But now I know it's just biding its time

And the worst of this
Ineloquence
Is that it gets me by
So if you find a more peaceful time
Let me know
So I can come inside

Not bad for a makeshift tragedy
The kind you can watch
And never lose sleep

I thought I had the wherewithal but now I guess I'm spent
And now you'll have to wonder what I meant

And now you'll have to wonder what I meant.
