Poetry

Never Say Never

written by: OurSacredHonor

I'm seeking to escape in my writing
But this time should really be my release
Relentlessly I keep on fighting
Trying to put my mind at ease
The teeth of time keep on biting
But I don't wanna have to appease
I just wanna stop the rope from tightening
And I want all these feelings to cease

Stop playing games
With the shame
In my heart
Cuz this pain
I can't explain
Pulls me apart
I'm collapsing under pressure
As these thoughts start to fissure
They break away
From today
And they weigh
Heavy on my shoulder
Nights getting colder
And harder to sleep through
My eyes harder to see through
And it's harder to convey to you
To say to you
What it is feel I must relay to you
So I'm trying to return to the same old things
And rediscover what the truth in me will bring
To the table
I hope it's not a fable
Because I have no time left to sit here telling stories
About faded glory
I need to live in the moment
But my vision is so bent
And so blurry I can't discern
The lies in what I learn
And what I hear
So I run away from what I fear
Like a coward
As the clock counts down to our final hour
I want power
And I want control
I wanna find something that'll make me whole
I want soul
I need feeling
I need to stop reeling
Cuz I can't keep dealing
Or I'll hit the ceiling
Then the floor as I fall
Bouncing of the walls
On my way down
Towards the ground
My head pounds
With the sound
Of a thoughts echo
I'm trying to capture them as they go
But I don't know
How I can be the one to decide
Which to keep inside
And which to give to you
As I often do
In this montage
Of words, a barrage
Like a 10 cylinder pulling out the garage
And doing 90 on the freeway
Going the wrong way
Til it hits the century mark
Screaming past the car park
Til I'm flying above you
Believe me when I say I love you
Cuz I don't say a word that I won't stand behind
And believe when I say what is on my mind
Cuz you won't find
Anybody who can bind
Your ears to this sound
Like a vocal merry go round
That has you going in circles
And turning purple
Loosing your breath
You gasp and ask whats next
Relax, don't worry
I ain't in no hurry
To stop this flow
I'll just go
Til I know
It's time to stop the show
So just try your best
To follow And don't get restless
I know It's hard to swallow and digest
All in one sitting
But it's fitting
And unforgiving
All at the same time
All in the same line
Of the same rhyme
It must be a sign
From the cosmos
Who knows
Better than us?
What's all the fuss?
Take a chill pill
And I will
Fulfill
You fantasy,
your hopes and your lyrical dreams
by any means
necessary
no adversary
Will hold me back
No enemy
Shall attack
Without being put down
This ain't no playground
It's a twisted sound
That surrounds
You and engulfs your senses
Like an extra dimension
In space
Your heart begins to race
And no longer can you stand with me face to face
Your out of place
I'm not up on a pedestal
If I was I'm sure I'd fall
I'd rather be closer to reality
Rather avoid fallacy
And the malice within me
That constantly
Is a driving force
I just can't let it be the source
Of anything coming out from the inside
I need to be of sound mind
And keep a leash on my pride
I need to remember to confide
In those by my side
And remember to remember
But not forget to live
Remember that December
And not forget to give
Cuz life is to short to take things for granted
If you're not careful you'll be dismantled
And mishandled
By life's carelessness
An unforgiving unfairness
That'll strike you like lightning
It's to damn frightening
To not be aware of it
And be prepared for it
So step up to it's challenge and mount resistance
And with a little stubborn persistance
You'll be able to pull through and enjoy
It's like a convoy
Down main street
And you'll know when it's been beat
It's a struggle that must be overcome
But it's all worth it when the journey's done
But the journey's the best part don't you forget
And don't you ever take advantage of it
This life is a gift
And it'll shift
And create a rift
If you can't uplift
Yourself
Above the downfall of everyone else
It's difficult on us
And tumultuous
A lot of fuss
And over what?
It's a pain
But the gain
Is worth it all to sustain
The fight
Another night
Each daybreak
Forgives another mistake
And remakes
Another fake
So take
It all in and treasure it forever
And whatever you do, never say never
