From The GraveA Poem by JoostSpeaking from the pit of my stomach I can't fathom all the fears and the riddles that keep me down under where the strings of abandonment are tied around my neck and a sword cuts through my abdomen Abaddon, Angel of Death I paint a picture so perverse cause it feels as if i'm under a curse Welcome to wicked wonderland where little bunnies are hurt Am I bitter, am I sweet? This ain't no fun I'm on the run Who payed the price on the cross Why do I keep missing the target Why can't I rise above? The misery, the grave this icky feeling at my base the s**t that has me hunted by a reckless Beast I crack my skull with thousand questions but no light, that enters in restless mess we call the mind when do I finally begin to show response-ability I can't hide under my skin My mum is now of age and it hurts me when I think that she'll never see me grow up burning all the bridges she has built It is a man who cares where the kid is scared risky-whisky when you count on courage but there is little there Oh heart of mine why have thy fallen in the grave slithering snakes... Is this it? The end of mine? Or do I stand, defend the line? I crack my skull with thousand questions but no light, that enters in restless mess we call the mind when do I finally begin to show response-ability I can't hide under my skin © 2023 Joost |
