Hole In the Wall

Hole in the Wall… I feel like crawling back into the hole Back in time, back in space Into realms of no emotion When feeling is lost on an expressionless face I want to run, just never stop running Away from here, anywhere Anywhere away from this place, nowhere at all… We are bound to live sacrificial lives But isn’t everyone who lives and breathes Like lambs to the infamous slaughter We are falling to our knees But I am speaking in a singular form Speaking only for myself My love, my longing for life Goals I have set Plateaus far from the norm are so hard to reach I have often fallen short, fallen hard Like now… I am losing sight of distant visions Storm clouds obscure the sun and the haze clouds my head Uncomfortable feelings deep within me Weighing me down, they are as heavy as lead Calling out to me I respond without caution or care Never stopping to realize In the dark; waiting, you must constantly be aware You cannot afford to compromise your beliefs, Or your strengths for anything, nothing at all All of this, through the hole in the wall…
