In My Fall

Perhaps I have engaged in things 
I should have no mind
Or I have things in mind 
In which I should not have engaged
Then again some thoughts are so intrusive
It bares this petit mind to effortless to persuade
May you place your smiles upon me
When I finally fall
For speaking of this
In terms
I may never again awaken
Up to my chin in cheers
But my throttle remains forever shaken
Upon kinder days of mortar
In single file
We follow no mans order 
And when I fall
May you all place your smiles up on me
This is for it all 
For no individual shall my vengeance stall
Ignorance does not change 
It takes wisdom to grow out of ignorance
Once can only imagine the width between lanes
In my plotted days demise
This, it has taken me days to realize
May you place your smiles upon me
When I finally fall
