one question

pain madness anger tears.

regret anxiety sadness fears.

insanity rides darkness rears.

I am undone.

all around me is glaring light.

painful, painful to my eyes.

rising, mounting noise.

the sound of a thousand lies.

and in the end where does this leave.

hollow empty.

run to your dreams little man.

do you have the strength to make them reality?

will you like the rest fall to the wayside.

or will you.

give in to the pain.

give in to the fantasy.

take your fears.

and throw them away with reality.

can you. will you. should you.

stand this test.

this race is too far, too long.

best just sit by the pavement and rest.

shout encouragement to those pass.

scream adulation to those who succeed.

you know you'll never be there.

so upon their strength you feed.

so sit there and stagnate.

you pathetic, hopeless fool.

sit there.

and let your passions cool.

you are atlas, bearing your burden.

you cannot run.

you cannot chase.

after the sun.

for reach too close.

and won't you burn?

the world you carry.

icarus, lesson learn.

so sit there you do.

listen to your fears.

sit there you will.

in your own pool of tears.

and hate.

hate fills.

hate the world.

hate the people.

hate the hate.

hate yourself.

powerless and useless you spiral down.

roots begin to grow.

far and down into the earth of reality.

far and down and low.

and there you will stay.

a petrified tree.

rooted in the wrong world.

too scared to pull yourself free.

and one day.

you will die.

your one regret.

never to fly.

is this what shall happen from now?

is this how the story shall end?

is that the best you can do?

go ahead. lose to the world. see if I care. who am I you scream. you know. youknowdamnwellwhoiam. iamyou,theyouthatstaresatyourlifeandasksonsimplequestion.onequestionthatchangeseverything.

Are you chasing your dreams?
