The Hardest Push


I often wonder how far too far is.
while pushing the limits of my mind,
I've wasted away the things I miss,

I'm over what some say is real,
reality to me seems like a choice,
I've broken down and decided to heal,
now I haven't any poise,

Too far honestly isn't far enough,
pushing my mind even further,
what doesn't break me makes me tuff,
for the places inside unheard of,

Although I fear where I've been,
I've lots of things that I numb,
all of a sudden here I am,
staring at the damage I've done,

A lonely tear runs down my cheek,
it's the only one I had left,
 speechless when I tried to speak,
and that silence I'll never forget,
