Twisted

Twisted 8/22/2014

Life is like a twisting rope

Pulled tight

And starting to fray

As we try to climb up backwards

Before we snap and fall.

Pushing and straining

Red in the face

To make ourselves successful

Even though we are destined to lose

For no point at all. 

Road signs flash by

Reminding us where we have been

And where we are going

But underneath our feet

The past is covered up

Like it never happened at all. 

Many have chosen a career

Over truth

And many have lied

To protect their reputation. 

But all of that is lost

And crumbles away

As we fall on our heads

Empty and dumb.

Useless as a broken tool

We sell ourselves

For nothing

Missing what is important

Until it’s too late.

Dead men don’t care

For their chance is over

Frozen in their pride

And emotional stupidity.

Be here we are

Just as lost as forever

Never knowing or understanding

That we were safe all along.

They have done their worst

And now they will burn

Dangling upside down

And falling forever. 

Let go

And I will catch you

Just as, I was caught

A long time ago. 

There is no fear

And there is no death

But only different places

And different matter. 

We have prepared ourselves

And will receive what we know

Deep down within

The same as we always knew.
