The longer I stand here, the more it becomes clear that in this place I must always be. |
-At The Fence- by Keaton Foster Deeper These eyes Crooked Such a smile At the fence Standing In a line Of none Freedom Could be Should be Done Reaching The very top Easily pulling Oneself over But I won’t I just can’t There are no guards No faceless men With weapons up high There is nothing to stop me And much to contain me At the fence Forever feared Further I will stand Contemplating fate Wondering to myself What is beyond the gate What is out there In a wilderness so bare I’m just too damn afraid Fear is a truest of god A deity beyond disbelief The weight of it all Keeps me right here The pain won’t allow me To climb any height To find an escape From what must be faced Certainly, I am doomed Such tedious things I’ve come to accept I’ve come to regret At the fence Self-contained Righteous And true Deeper Those eyes Crooked Such a smile Standing In a line Of none Freedom Could be Should be Undone I could reach The very top But I won’t At can’t allow myself To escape all That defines me I must pay the price For every and all sins I must stand here View so clear Sight so precise I must be contained Within this prison Of both time And mind… At The Fence Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2016. |
