A Climb for Nothing
Giant leap of faith needs wings
No rings or dings just reaps
Keep resolve and climb away
Lose weight and back on way
On a cliff now, afraid
No time to waste,
But the color fades
Dec-line is straight
Both physically and mentally falling
Not dramatically or emotionally
Normally swallowed juicy peaches
Now, swallowed by a dark pit of a peach
Run out of options, there isn’t
One to save from schism
Opt out of optimism
Jump now and hope your wisdom’s
Blown out, and stopped in risin’
Choke how? By words of skepticism
Lost now, no opportunism
No whys, just falls but still stuck in prism prison
Gray eyes, cliff calls,
fray ties, freefall,
Crazed minds, hears null,
Fazed ‘hind, fears all
Then everything stopped
Gravity, darkness, and deafening
Sky looks the same as the ground
we think we have to rise further
Just because our parents raised us higher
Bright light LED us without,
Any real reason
Don’t care which ward of this city
Forward or backward
Go wherever I wondered
No matter if it's awkward
Unlike others,
At least I can plant as many trees wherever
Whereas those floating higher can never.
