No Longer
to cherish those moments in life,
when you understand,
macabre truth as it may be,
take solace in the comfort,
that comes when you realize,
realize what you wouldn't before.
it adds a solemn clam to the state of things,
like the calms that settles after war
when death is fresh in the air.
theres warmth in the aftermath,
even through lose and lack of hope,
although all has just gone wrong,
there's still that solemn vow,
to simply saunter on.
on the day of your birth,
you vow to never give in,
through heart ache and loss,
through times of pain and sin.
no matter how alone you feel,
or for that fact,
how alone you are.
there's still a primal urge,
to not stop,
to go far.
and even when you don't know why,
you keep one foot in front of another,
you hold your head up high,
become your father,your mother.
weights bearing down,
yet you still go on,don't know why.
hope always faded,
soul embedded in the ground.
even when you start to think,
you got things under control,
life will put you in check,
emotions start to roll.
chemicals mix, feelings arise
even when you try and fight.
we know that they're not valid,
we know that they're not right,
but they dominate us anyway.
no longer a will to fight.
