Will you stand with me at the water's edge?
As my beats quicken and intensify
Likened to the pounding of war drums
Fuelling the skirmishes within
As my lungs remain obstinate and insatiable
Voraciously consuming every breath till they overlap...
As if the abundant air wasn't enough
As my mind races out in a million different directions
Crestfallen thoughts layered upon angry ideals
Violated principles versus tattered resolutions
Will you stand with me at the water's edge?
And watch me as I choose between
extinguishing the raging fire
that burns in my heart and mind
Or drown.
