Ease me away from the pain.
It could be too much of a shock
To finally feel some relief.
The weight on my chest building-
With every breathe I suffocate-
My shoulders tighten even as I sleep:
Left behind with nothing more to do.
Keep running until it all collapses;
Live until the world begins to burn.
Ancestral instinct egging me on,
Nightmares continue to warn me of
All of the pain I keep waking up to,
Consuming every nerve ending,
Leaving my muscle memory with
The comfort of knowing the damage
Will always exist burdened under
The willpower of a god trapped by
The rock eternally rolling over me
While nobody around can see
How much I continue to break.
