Why

What goes up, has to come down
Circles must be completed
Life must be celebrated
Misery must be endured
Melancholy must be embraced
Squalid quagmires of present reveled
Hope and faith nurtured
Belief for a deliverance nurtured

Overwhelmed by the tall ask
Knowing what the heart wants
Song that soul yearns for
Embrace that is truly mine
Love waiting beyond the chasm
Mind livid with current excess
Being sounds like a wail
Stars that guide don’t give warmth

Not just yet anyways

And the lows engulf, desolation descends
Darkness dances, eyes well over
Rage within wants the world to burn
Voices inside question existence
Why suffer, oh why at all
Why pretend to play
Make believe happiness

Live off the fumes at all
