For me it has always been about the journey. Leaving those that I love behind. |
-Embarkation- by Keaton Foster Embarkation Destination Via separation Taken away Made to pay All that I loved Ripped From these hands Torn From this heart Forget me They now must Disown me They have no choice Such decisions Come natural For most Self-preservation Makes them capable They will be safe Without me They will be free Because of me All is as it seems Here Facing the darkest sea Emotionless I’ve become Fearless Spiritless What a mess I have no chance I have to go Leaving this place Far behind I don’t know Where I’ll end up Embarkation Destination Via separation Always I’ll pay For such mistakes For such things I have been meant I was born for this Thrown into chaos Enslaved By the madness That runs wild Behind these eyes A seed once sown A forest since grown Potent was the mix Two neurotic people Will often result In another Quite incapable I’ve always been What I thought What I was sure Was love Was in fact a lie Widely told Cleverly sown Beat into this skull Pressed into my heart None of it was fact Less of it was real Sad but true Heavy and absolute There is no avoiding What I am There is only delay Via relocation Stemming from Separation Embarkation I must leave This station I must go away To another place To another time All alone It’s where I belong My one absolute My home away From all that I Was sure I knew None of it Was meant for me I play a different game One far more dangerous One that hurts me most I will leave them behind Not because it’s what I wish I will leave them behind Because it’s all that I know All that I’m certain about Upon the loneliest of sea There are and will Always be waves Ones that I myself Must come to face I must go where it is They will take me In the ways in which They will make me… Embarkation Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
