PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There's a thought fueling in my head
I'm not all that sure I know what it is
But there it sits, waiting for me to give in
And let it cloud and shadow everything I'm living with

And somewhere
Someone
Is singing along with me
Screaming at the skies and all the bitter memories

And someday
Someone
Will be standing by my side
To reassure my heart and mind that everything's alright

This is not that place
No, this is not that day
I take a breath
A sudden step
And I'm slipping off the edge

This is not the way
No, this is not what's safe
I turn my head
Get blindsided
And I'm falling right back in

My eyes are growing darker
So weary from this life
I'm tearing at this armor
Trying so hard to hold inside
The walls that sanctify
The threat level is high

And somewhere
Someone
Is trying to get free
To break the chains, shed what remains
And find a life worth living in

And someday
Someone
Will find a way to me
To take my hand, in happenstance
And find the freedom from all this

But this is not that place
No, this is not that day
I breath again
And burn within
I'm falling from the ledge

This is not the way
No, this is not what's safe
I close my eyes
Look deep inside
And land amidst my sins

I can't stay down
I've got to rise up
I can't fade now
Can't say "ENOUGH"

Somewhere
Someday
Someone will reach in
To end the falls, and raze the walls
That I am living in

But this is not that place
No, this is not that day
And you are not the one
Who makes me feel I'm safe

No, this is not that place
And this is not that day
And you are not the one
Who makes it go away
