Trying too hard
Always thought I’ve tried too hard.
Those things I want seem so far away.
These fingers bend,
retract again
and then by my heart they stay.
Ambition seems too complex for me.
I’ve had nothing more than a dream,
a reflection of my soul and what lies within.
I daren’t venture there again.
Inflicted with pain
caused by what I feel.
What I think doesn’t matter.
These Icarus wings can burn in Lucifer’s lair.
Turn to dust like my dreams.
These aspirations rest here
embedded in my head.
Never to be released
through fear of torture for my will.
My right of speech is forced silent.
My free mind chained down.
Always thought I’d tried too hard,
but in the end,
I never had the chance.
