Poetri

These wings weren’t meant for flying
Cause I’m a prisoner of my mind
And though you think that I am dying
To escape this place you find

So disgusting
A living hell
A grave of isolation
A cursed and barren well

While you hold me
And water me with tears
Know this maggot
Feeds off what’s left to fear

For we all were born with purpose
And we’re bound to see it through
Someday I know you’ll understand
Because I know what’s meant for you

In the meantime
In this moment that must end
I’ll take your mercy
It has the sweetness of heaven

And though a maggot feeding off what’s left to fear
I will rise (I need you to believe)
I will rise before your eyes
And be a son
Again

In all creation
There are corners to explore
And the shadows
Give the darkness its repose
But I was sent to
Burn away each crevice found
I’m a hunter
And I was cast to do this job

You found me praying
Assuming I was in despair
I prayed for strength to
Withstand the heartbreak of your care

See you’re mistaken
And what I know just breaks my heart
By breaking rank you
Have sealed your fate to live my art

And though you think you came for me
Because I needed your mercy
It is you

You see the fear you had inside
That made you come that made you cry
Is why I’m here
