-Fall Apart- by Keaton Foster Pieces Parts In shambles It’s a start Not an end Once I was one A whole being A greater thing Something more Now I’m not Everything To nothing Between I’ve survived Just because Fall apart It’s a start And an end A wilderness Of many Id’s Suggestive creatures Defensive mechanisms Tearing at my heart Ripping at my soul Telling me You must go Leave this home Break from Skin and bone You must escape But I won’t I refuse I’m not done I may be the pieces Of a once greatness But I’m more Than before Lesser No more Fall apart Those who know me Those few Who understand Stand with heart In hand Begging me Comeback to us Leave that place Forget that pain Become one Again with us Leave madness Break from sadness Forget your gift It’s become a curse Escape But I can’t I won’t I must be this Who I am What I am Never can I be The slightest bit less Fall apart No longer one I am many An identity Without knowing it A person Without feeling it I use these words A form of expression A reflection Of who I once was But no longer am Pieces Parts In shambles It’s a start Not an end I understand Most of all This is what I am Who I must be These words Beyond meaning These ideas Far past understanding These things I say More than a way Fall apart It’s a start Some might say It’s an end But not I… Fall Apart Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2016. |
