Defying Gravity

     It’s hard to hide in the dark when you’re
The Darkness ruled by your own personality
And it’s hard to walk in the light when you’re
The Brightness struggling with the Duality

There’s always something to keep you down
Life at times can be such a Calamity
And every day we encounter cruel people
And suffer from their insensitivity

Sometimes I just want to close my eyes
And live a life in a wonderful fantasy
But I know I can’t do that and if I did I would
Eventually have to open them to my reality

I have come face to face with Death
And I know about my own mortality
But just maybe with my poetry I’ve
Found a way to achieve an Immortality

And with everything that tries to bring
Me Down I keep my strong mentality
But I couldn’t do it on my own and Jesus
Is the one that keeps me Defying Gravity
