The Reprisal There is so much to see yet you miss the profound beauty of it all things so magnificent but you merely pass them over when will you realize there is so much within us and amongst us remember why you are still standing and the world will no longer pull you down even in the inner most depths of pain still you climb you have picked up what you were only supposed to pass over still you wonder why you feel so weighed down realize there is no such thing as dead weight it is very much living and it will feed off you if you do not let go learn to radiate what once brought you warmth rise with animosity forged from all your prior shortcomings make a connection so strong within yourself that not even you can break it soon your embarrassments and torments will flicker only to fade recognize that you are your own enemy face your fear, face yourself, now turn and walk away Lies I am a wretched soul wrapped in steel who hopes to reach higher domain I am cursed to live a life with nothing to retain guilt and distractions drag me away decibels save face so that I can loose mine do not be fooled, I am no sacrificial lamb still I sweat cold release of agony and pain I will punch empty walls, until my bones break away I will cut my teeth and gnaw my bars into decay so that I can shed old skin from hollow bone in the hopes that I can finally slither away
