Progression, or Regression?
Take care to show no emotion
While these actions are in motion
Hateful words tossed like bombs
And all done without any qualms
Reveal the blood upon your palms
Time to show us just how calm
You can be while you self destruct
Make it so no one can re-construct
The life that you once led, upon a time
Let them all take this as a sign
You’re not alright
It’s time to decide, flee or fight
It’s time to decide, wrong or right?
Will you ever find the light
To guide yourself out of that hole
Of self recrimination, dug inside your soul
What a mess you’ve made
Do you even see the aid
Offered by many, and taken from none
Can you even finish anything you have begun?
A shadow lurks before the answers
but the questions eat away like a cancer
give in to the night.
At times you feel you might
and strength of will and strength of mind
do nothing much to help you find
what it is that you have sought
the reason that you have fought
some peace of mind and peace of heart
so much to work through, so why not start?
In this moment, this point in time
No simple way, or simple rhyme
Progression or regression it’s hard to tell
One from another while you dwell
In a mind so full of plight
you’ve found it’s time to fight.
These feelings you find so hard to label
And now you find yourself unable
To do even the simplest of things
