Fears &Factors
Stating facts means nothing if you’re laying on your back,
Staring at the stars contemplating what you lack, feeling the ground cracking underneath you
Reaching for the realization that is never coming
Common sense forever leaving you behind, forgetting to look back
Voices in your head defining, the sounds of reasons
Faults bind your arms and legs together as you fall for an eternity
Praying for the end to come so soon as your reincarnation as the same old soul
Dreams seem to disappear leaving you nowhere to hide
Screams escape your lips with no sound; your heart is yet to be found
Flashes of your life pass by, without you living them,
Living in purgatory…..
Wondering who is going to tell your story
Questioning who is even going to care enough to ask?
Time seems to stop, but you anticipate every second that you have
Looking at the ground,
Seeing everybody with their hands out ready to catch you
Closing your eyes, counting how many of those hands would stay
And how many would pull away
So you wait…..
Placing your hands behind your head semi- floating
Finding peace in knowing
In not knowing…
In believing that you knew all along…
Listening to your mothers sweet lullabies telling you that everything will be okay in the end
You smile….. and accept.
