Why Do You

Quit Dreaming, yet there are no signs of stopping.
Start risking everything, this is just the beginning.
When the back is up against the wall.
Wherewithall will you find salvation?
How can you, without a passion burning, stand at all?
This isn't the twilight zone: Vacuous revelations.
Will you challenge everything,
even if it only damages yourself?
Even you forget, the family ruin is nearing.
You've placed the castle's danger on yourself.
How could you think that good and mistakes go together?
How could you through the past of the iris?
Yet you were doomed at birth to this fell letter.
Yet even when the blinding light comes you still see not.
Drunkenness like this calls out in it's pain.
Yet not when it's sober will it call for help.
It starts to think of itself as nothing.
Then it pairs itself with others; distancing.
Then it decides the only unchanging thing is change itself. 

Drown it all....
Forsaken It is...

Drunkenness like this calls out in it's pain./ Yet not when it's sober will it call for help./ It starts to think of itself as nothing....Powerful. This reads quite perfect; the tone projects the frustration, ire, and message. How could one think that good and mistakes DON'T co-exist or come together? I like your work. 7 Wesley C.
