Fight For Flight

“Fight for Flight” Stuck in the shell unable to break out to see the sunshine warming the air I breathe Struggling to smell the flowers planted in the garden for the neighbors to see This darkness is so undeserving like the innocent killed by cowards Trying to break free so the numbness I feel will melt into a feeling of life Sacred thoughts of striving to see the world around me leaves my conscience lost Accepting my failures as an individual has created a space between reality and fantasy Living in a world with a desolate soul leaves the heart as empty as the room I lay in The emptiness is over powering like the silence is so deafening Living a life secluded from real life people has my mind asking if I’m really alive Dreaming of those long gone leaves the salty tears slowly trickling towards downwards So many feelings of lost days make it hard to smile even on the best days Breathe Stephen is all I can say to keep my chest moving to prove I am life I reach out my hands to grasp the side rails to pull myself to safely stand Again I try yet the despicable me has found empty air instead of solid objects Believing I am the failure looked upon by others as an untreatable cancer I give up the fight for flight and allow my body to collapse in a heap upon the ground
