Is It Worth It?
Is it worth it?
When in a world that shows how it’s supposed to be,
Then who is the supposer?
All the ads, commercials, phrases,
and slogans can never take away the pain.
Things are coming down,
It’s becoming clear finally.
Can you smell the polluted
air?
The contaminated water carries
only soft whispers of death.
It’s so thin here,
I can taste the thick emptiness
inside.
Fullness is poison to my mind,
Wholeness to my soul.
How can I be so overwhelmed
by something that isn’t even there?
I’m smothering in my
own thoughts,
Drowning in my own tears.
This fire’s growing dim
now,
Small shadows creep where huge
pillars once stood.
Where’s that feeling
that I don’t feel?
This hostage is accepting it’s
captor with arms wide open.
How can I be best friends with
silence now?
It betrays me every time a
secret is kept.
What’s that hollow
beating?
Its faint rhythm slows every
moment I catch a breath.
My feet have worn a place in
what has become my destiny.
A small cruel box,
On which I stand before my
own audience of one.
No applaud, no encore.
Just a disappointed accomplishment
has been made here.
Sharing the weight,
It’s more than any hero
could ever bear.
You’re as faithful and
ambitious as I was,
As empty and afraid as I am.
I’m perfectly safe in
this danger zone.
My lies echo every pound,
Every pound reflects lies.
Where did this start?
When does this end?
I’m becoming it,
It’s
becoming me.
Is it worth it?
When in a world that knows how it’s supposed to be,
Then why am I supposing it?
