Recieving Fortification -Part 3-

It’s terrible to be in my shoes
While you live your never-ending nirvana…
Shedding good news
You’ll live to meet your demise…I see your flaw!

This want of freedom is beyond description
I need to hold your hand…this is a hard decision 
Lead me to a dazzling land
Don’t be afraid; don’t move a muscle
I understand…I understand…
I cannot provide you with any insight, 
But remain prudent 
Remain content
For the time being…and lay on someone else’s shoulders
Rely on your intuition…and fulfill your ambition 

Hold on to your gift of healing
Without letting go…
Letting go…
Open wide your mouth, 
So I can fill it up with positivity 
There’s no point in crying…
No point in lying…
There’s a chance for you
To drown your misery…
This uncertainty…this morbid envy
Reigns over me…
I got to overcome these dark enmities
This failure mindset…this horrid melancholy
Grows inside me like a cancer
