Fallen
1Am I fallen, or am I falling?
Am I forsaken, or am I forsaking?
Am I unique, or am I losing it?
I ask you, all of this.
And what do I get?
Why am I here?
Why did you make me like this?
Is it for a cause?
Is it for a purpose?
Why give me this, and not give me the instructions.
Why make me like this, but not make it easy.
Would that make it too easy?
Would that make it too open?
If so, than what am I supposed to do?
Sit here alone?
Go out a fight?
Help the wounded?
Or just keep on asking why?
Oh, why, why?
Why would you leave me here?
Oh, why, why?
Why wont you answer me here?
Oh, why, why?
Why wont you tell me?
Oh, why, why?
Why do you keep trying to break me?
All I want, all I ask, is a little help
But all I get, all I hear, is a little hurt.
Why? Why make it like this?
Are you this cruel?
Or is there a point?
Can’t you just nod, or make some sign?
Oh, why, why?
Why wont you answer me?
Oh, why, why?
Why wont you comfort me?
Oh, why, why?
Why would you give me this?
Oh, why, why?
What can I do with it?
But sit here alone, staring up at you.
Asking you these worthless questions.
I guess I’ll never know, but it was worth a try.
Until the next I cry, This is goodbye.
A toast to my former self….
0Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm. – Abraham Lincoln
Isn’t it funny how our former self can be the worst foe we ever face? How we are still be haunted by the demons of the past like we only had made their acquaintance that very evening.
How is it we can be trifled and overcome by the past, killed in our sleep like a slow poison…eating at our very soul… and decimate our very being; blood wrenched and worst of all…victorious.
How is it we cannot truly defeat this once welcomed; but now worst enemy…what is it’s name? Oh, you know it well…it is your past mistakes. Not done by another, only by your own blood, your own vices, your own lust…and the only one you can blame is yourself as it overcomes you like a ocean; wave after wave…until you are too weary, and are overcame…and ultimately defeated.
Why is it that we can not just own up to it all, get it in the open…share our faults, our fears, our pain… Instead, like little ignorant fools we keep it to ourselves…in shame, in hatred, in fear. So really, honestly…why not? Do we not realize every other being on the planet has done something as well? That we are all equal, that we have all fallen at one point or another? Then why is it, we cannot come together in whole, and truly be equal with another in all things…instead of digging our own grave.
