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
