Gravity

November 7th, 2011

I am engulfed in a world

Seemingly unable to shake

The feeling that trembles about

Lingering closely, until I wake

I wander aimlessly beyond the brink

Searching far and deep

Treading to breathe, before I sink

I'm falling below, altitudes low

The beating grows fonder

With thunder pounding through

Guilt pulsing in veins, haunting yonder

Drumming in and out of my ears

Your soft, endearing face has lured me in

Time has gone a faded

Your mystery drawing me in, unable to win

Unable to fight, unable to progress

Stuck screaming in place

You leave me burning in desire

Hiding it all simply with a secret smiling face

I yearn to shout the truth in air, and in fire

But we've all grown to know

It's inevitable at it's best

It will not end with a grand finale show

Frankly, not even with a happy ending to rest

I have suffered all my life

In bottling all that feels

Running from all that fears

It slowly kills me with its betraying knife

You will go on sturdy a strong

Absolutely convinced you know it all

When in all reality you are more than wrong

For I have kept it in from you, from all, all along

You will grow, learn and change

You will see all that is around you

Though not embrace what directly in front

Leaving me in nothing but the strange

I'm bound by the darkness the lures

And sustained with the secrets I hold

My lips are sealed simply to save you

Maybe one day there will be a cure

Though I cannot be saved

when the opponent is my own self

If I should fall with defeat

I hope you'll have the strength to dig deep

I've battled with this for long enough

Years and years with no end

It strives off of my core energy

Feeding off the guilt buried within

Just when I grew tough

You're contemplating strain

Has dragged me in and out

As I struggle immensely to ignore your reign

There is knowledge in your identity

For it's been pure from the start

Though you keep me treading, as a work of art.
