More I Come More I Try

-More I Come More I Try-
by
Keaton Foster



Here I am
There I went
More I come
More I try
Always behind these eyes
A monster inside
Once Burdened
By the flame
Ashes are all that remain
Nothing left to burn
No fuel left to be spent
Only truth and nothingness
A shell of a being
Living, breathing
Always reeling
A true king of suffering
In a kingdom full of blind children
They do not know what I intend
They only know what is remembered
In a life and time other than
The one that we universally share
Over backwards I often fall
Down to the cold ground
Like a bag of stones
Crushing myself
Along with all else
They stand no chance
Just like me they scream
Silence, forever upon the sea
For as far as can be
No one hears them
No one will ever know
Ignorant fools
Blissfully bound by the rules
Of a game that they
Have always been meant to lose
Here I am
There I went
More I come
More I try
Failing each second lived
As more of me dies
Such a tragic death
Never will I achieve my chore
Knowing there will always be more
What I must do and how I do it
Will be the reminder of my life
The purpose of my strife
There can be nothing less
And everything more
Such words spoken
Labored tokens to be used
Cashed in for knowledge
Based off my own
Terrifying experiences
And unique understanding…


More I Come More I Try
