A weird poem about never getting to close to others, yet exposing them to my pain

-Touch and Go-
by
Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


Run
Never stop
Keep moving
Touch and go
If you must
If your hand is forced
Do what you can
What you deem worthy
Show some love
Lend them all some hope
Then as they change
As they begin to believe
In you and your lies
Pour out the darkness
Make it rain madness
Use your twisted mind
A gift sublime
Curse every God
Not the ones of creation
But the ones of damnation
Lend no kindness
Institute only true sadness
Speak upon your own behalf
Hold nothing back
Bleed upon the page
Let them feel your rage
Expose them to raw emotion
Leave nothing to speculation
Press as hard as you must
Fight the very thing
That makes you
A beautifully flawed specimen
Crush every dream
With the reality of life
Make them all see
Make them all feel
When they fall to their knees
Be sure to scream
Understand
Then
Further fight to explain
Use your words
As absurd weapons
Spare not one of them
Because they have never
Given you a reason to
Touch and go
Do not stop for a second
Never cease to persist
Through the words
That live inside your chest
Fill the blank page
With every form of rage
Only when death claims you
Will you be adequately freed
Leave everything behind
For those who will remain
Touch and go
Never stay in one place long
Do not tie your hands with love
Do not bind your mind with hope
Do not hang yourself with what if
Because for you
Life is and will always be
About what could have been
Not about what will be
Because what will be is nothing
That you have ever
Been able to believe...
