From The Grave

From The Grave

A Poem by Joost

Speaking 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
