keep walking
don't lose that balance
focus on anything but the floor
move forward
like you're expected
was this the life that you bargained for?
keep going,
ignore the hurting
even if everything hurts a while
things happen,
not much to do now-
haven't you figured out how to smile?
the winds of repression
escaping your lungs
built from the fallacies of trying to pretend-
where is the voice that
you gave to yourself
if the remorse could choke it out of you again?
keep walking
just keep walking
just fight it
soldier of metal
looking as durable as a stone
but time
will leave rust to settle
and slowly decay through your wooden bones
no structure
left to contain you
lessened to smoke and dust in the dark
no spirit
left to sustain you
the ashes of forced restraint leave their mark
the winds of repression
escaping your lungs
built from the fallacies of trying to pretend-
So where's the compassion
you promised yourself
when you endured a hell that never seemed to end?
keep walking
