Stay Down
Beating after beating. Rebound.
I've been patient. Patient enough to hold back. (Until now)
Teaching my feet to leave the ground.
Feel the weight lift. Taking off on the right track.
Those thoughts have their place at the back of my mind.
Stay down.
They didn't tell me, I felt it.
There were no choices or questions.
This body has a mind of it's own.
Wide-eyed in the dark.
While it died in my arms.
This life is a lesson to learn.
Passed every point of regret.
Dancing over my own grave. I held back. (Until now)
Silence is half the noise in this duet.
Asking over and over for it to end,
only kept you alive in my head.
To be trusting
and fuelled by a misdirection
To be innocent beyond recognition.
So you ask the question.
Is this something you chose?
Or something you're forced to invest in?
