Uncommon Sense

This must be the height of it all teacher
Brace me in case I fall teacher
I feel as if I can finally reach her
Even if I'm still stumbling down unlit corridors immersed in confusion
I'm at the height of my self awareness, I can touch myself without the thought
I can lose it all in this maze created by my senses
I can smell her and taste her, I had an image to copy and paste her
So she soon became a rendition
Just another sound for me to listen

I am now at the height of something grand so much so that I can't stand
My legs are too small and my ankles are weakened
I have to take care and treat them so I can become something more than a mere mortal man

I am at the pinnacle of something physical
My body succumbs to all things linear
I am on the straight and narrow
I am now as straight as an arrow as this has been nothing more than a harrowing lesson
3 strikes in a row make me the turkey
So don't dare jerk me from pillar to post
Please don't roast me so that I might toast
Although I don't mind being brown on the outside, a black faced expression doesn't suit me
Its all of this movement that uproots me
I have lost the remote on purpose so you can't mute me
My volume is stuck on absolute an obsolete idea that is viewed as incomplete
Today people need explanations to compete...in this country built on democracy
The demographics hypocrisy is driving me mad
How come being so sexual is viewed as bad?

We are brainwashed at such an early age to treat it as something other than a natural reason for being, the driving force for life to exist

How can I be me if I can't be this?
Why do I have to hide my drive and pride?
These man made rules for us to abide
This hand made side has an underneath and that's where I will rest and reside.
Hide until it becomes mainstream and is clearly seen, finally stamped with approval
And the sense to sense will force my renewal

...And I will lead...

Eyes closed
Mouth shut
Ears plugged
Smells dulled
Hands gloved

...With no senses left but my uncommon sense to love

A good write I think; What is more universal, in modern life, than a crush on a teacher?

PS: line 4 needs "immersed."
