PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

it's the sniper hesitating with his finger on the trigger
it's the beat of the heart that's just been revived
it's the surely-dead child clinging onto last life
it's give and it's take and it's compromise
it's the truth in plain sight but just beyond the eyes
it's that connected feeling pulling every string in your mind

Does it live in your struggles? Does it live in your thoughts?
Does it know what you are? Does it know what you're not?

it's a one-sided love getting ready to die
it's thinking you can save the world one step at a time
it's the poison on your lips to make the days go by
it's giving up before ever reaching the fight
it's denying what you are and burning bridges alive
it's your idea of a team with a capital I

If you're so alive, why don't you struggle with the thought
of being told what you are, of being told what you're not?
