Pressure

December 12, 2017


Pressure, pressure ...
Pressure all around
Pushing at the inside
Pressing one to the ground


Surrender, surrender ...
Give up your game of might
Clawing for the things you want
Yet haven’t got the fight.


Plunder, plunder ...
You never will be found
The vestiges of a sound mind
Will only keep one bound.


The world of shadows taunts you
Emotions lead you on
Entwined in ego boundaries
Leave one pressed upon.


Testing, testing …
It festers in your womb
The life you never lived
The sealant of your tomb


Broken, broken ...
It all just went so fast
Before the sail had lifted
The flag had donned half-mast.
