The Pressure

The force, the pressure
To become something great
Is beginning to penetrate
Agitate my complacency & prepare for war.

I am a complex photograph
Telegraph a message & maybe I'll respond
Bless you with my awkward silence.

Forget the violins & pay attention to my sobbing
Robbing myself time & time again
Never knowing love
I find myself crippled, broken & undone.
