Broken

Broken

A Poem by Chris Z

Walking...

Everyone falls

So what brings us from a crawl?

Knowing we'll fall,

Knowing bruised knees are waiting with open arms to greet us


Drowning...

Someone is somewhere

Then why do we try to swim?

Knowing very well we could sink,

Knowing life isn't everlasting


Flying...

How many times do we crash and burn

So why build another beastly contraption?

Knowing failure is waiting on our doorstep

Knowing the outcome will very likely be as last


Broken...

Everything was or will be

So why do we build?

Knowing the inevitable,

Knowing someday it'll crumble to the ground




Change

For the better

Why wouldn't you strive?

Knowing the strife is but a detour


Throw everything you know to the wind,

For if everything we know now is all we ever will,

There's nowhere else to go

No better tomorrow,

Just people in their self preserving delusions,

soaking in the despairs of today.
