Backwards Spells of FEAR Part II
handing me over through the next
door waiting for my fight to give in
injections to soothe it all away
demons flowing through my veins
changing my DNA
from careless want
to endorphin need
purgatory
the space between caring and giving up
while still holding on
to a dream
a fantasy
another chance pushed farther away
mirroring my every fault
you can run, but can you hide?
quiet darkness friendly dimensions
the imagination of a ten year old
living as an adult
with nowhere to go
breaking under the increasing weight of hell
a familiar dungeon
temptation wrapped with a false freedom
a false bottom teetering
on the bare edge of a ravine
alone with no debate
as monsters scavenge in the shadows
of deception and wrong turns
whispering away the third fancy
as those who have grown close
begin to die one at a time before realizing
trees hold strong by shedding their own leaves
the meaning of my dream
after my dad passed
where he handed me the ancestry sword
to slay those demons
you are only running from yourself
hiding from monsters wearing your face
and until you face those demons
in the mirror mocking
you are only running in circles
riding the merry-go-round
smash through your matrix
shattering all of the lies
burdening your soul
caged by the spells of F.E.A.R.
fearing everything and running
stand up and burst through
demanding your power back
look yourself deep within your eyes
distinguish the learned comforts of society
and flip the tables
Face Everything and Rise
with the fierceness of an eagle
take flight by their words no longer
let go
and feel your wings lift you up
soaring one moment at a time
until your sword just glides
to wherever
whenever
you choose
