Like a fallen leaf face down in mud
My smile withers and feels the same muck
As my heart feels asleep in its comfy spot
Unwilling to snap forth it sits there to rot
Stress sits in my mind and in my body
Nagging me for what reason I less then know
Life drags on with pity here and there
For the uninspiring wretch it throws pennies and a glare
Whatever the reason for this lack of respect
That starts from inside, poisons while I ride
Like the limp of an injured hero
It causes one to waste away
While glory comes and goes with calls unanswered
For an equal fight lies inside with both sides left sheltering
The bittersweet taste of half victories among loss
All my good deeds come to a personal cost
Take it all in and fight it all out
Call for peace and wipe the last trickle of blood
Grow tired and dreary, then speak as the old
"I know better as of now, hear wisdom and fool no one more"
And for one standstill moment, leave all to see a glimmer
Of something that was never there, a concept merely a twinkle.
But before you dwell in the perfect ending
Live the moment in all its dread
To confront something you must know it
Know it in your heart like a piece you cut away
An idea carries very little weight
Passion, all the world's freight
