Marching On

Folder: 
Dusk's Rule

Passing by, and we see, old scars,
Wounds from a familiar, invisible, source,
The pressing, aching, the mind behind bars,
Being forced onto a steady course--

So we're marching on.

Bubbling from below, intense fire,
Metal bending, can't quite understand,
Invisible chains, unquestionably dire,
Resisting the mark, the brand,

Forced into line, marching on.

The sinking in our chest, the ache,
Sorrow pouring out,
Grasping, confused, unwilling to break,
Question truth,

for marching on,

The screaming inside, a dulled echo,
Revived by pictures faded,
A coat no longer yellow,
Look forward to being jaded,

'cause everyone is
marching on,

Find it deep within, rescue the heart,
Where creativity lived, thrived,
Live again and never depart,
Prevent being archived,

Marching on,
Towards similarity,
To be comfortable with,
such familiarity,

Let music flow back into veins,
Relive--remember laughs and pains,
Scream for the wild, unconstrained emotion,
Be free within and keep in motion,

away from the march, step out,
Break rhythm, dance apart,
create, embrace,
Feel rain running, river rushing, reality
cracking.
