My actions are justified No matter the tear Don’t look at me like that I’m not like the others I walk with one purpose- to escape from this prison An isolated place So different from the rest It welcomes you in But you may never escape Like the jaws of a lion Or a decision you made Such as continuing on- Can you ever stop? And as you try to climb, the mounds of sand so high you slip and fall Will you keep trying at all? Of course But you’ll break from the exertion Yet you continue climbing Knowing soon will be your end Beautiful really But why not play the game of the land And sink all the others- It’s Simply because you don’t want to know The ***** ways of the snake And the consequences of the show So you trudge on with ignorance And live in your beautiful bliss That is until it hits you- Reality that is
