Under Me

-Under Me-

Under me
On your back
Looking up
Quite a gap
Distanced defined
Another percept of time
Two human beings
Upon different planes
One soaring
The other crashing down
It’s just not fair
Nor was it meant to be
From so very far below
See what I intend
Know
Understand
Parchment in hand
Write it all down
Tell the twisted tale
For honorary sake
Maybe you’ll win the prize
Something unable to be spent
A significant difference
When there should be none
Watch the beautiful end
Your end to be exact
Coming right down
Upon you
Dare not be afraid
Hold nothing
In your chest and mind
Further empty every ideal
Dismiss it all if need be
Slay every dream
Fight if you must
Be less concerned
All will matter none
Under me
Is where you belong
Where you
Have placed yourself
I am no master
Just a tragic fool in kind
The roles could be opposed
But for one important fact
A significantly crucial difference
Between you and I
I am not weak
Not an ounce of fear
Or anything unclear
Pours through this heart
Runs through this brain
I am an emotionless pit
Inside a cavernous void
Under me
Is where you belong
Where you
Have placed yourself
Will you ever rise again
Confidently I think not
In such a dynamic place
As limited time traces on
Everything that holds you down
Will become unquantifiable heavier
And increasingly burdensome
You will be crushed to death
Squished like a bug on a sidewalk
Traversed by only giants
Under me
Will you die
I think not
What you will do
Is suffer greater
Than ever before
Before I’m done with you
You will beg to go back
To what you had
But be assured
That it’s all gone
You are very much alone
Under me
Is where you belong
Where you
Have placed yourself
I am just doing my part
Fulfilling my part of the story…
