Weakness

Weakness takes me apart like a blaze Flames surround me as I lay My weakness gives in To the devil’s den So many things I refuse to say Day after day Moments pass by like love Float into the sky above Weakness engulfs my rage As I look and see an old mage Waving his staff to the heavens Counting by sevens 7,14,21,28 Reminds me of my first date 35,42,49,56 Reminds me of the evil’s den Every word that comes out Seems to have no sound I scream at the top of my lungs As rays hit my skin from the sun Burning me from outside in Turning my flesh red within Demons sing about About all of their doubt As another day arrives The 7th dies Enrage with murderous thoughts As another bad lung coughs Our weakness surrounds us all With a scary wall that stands so tall No way out I say As I wave away another day
