The Opposite of Up

The opposite of up

Isn\'t heavy

 

That\'s just the quality

Of existence 

 

That makes rising

Up

 

So

Much

More 

 

Impossible? 

 

Smiles point up

Hearts race fast

Temperatures rise higher

Ladders are climbed

Mountains are conquered

 

But I feel the opposite of up

Which isn\'t caged

 

It\'s just the chaining of my soul

To the floor

 

Which makes reaching

Up

 

So

Bone

Shatteringly

 

Painful 

 

The opposite of up

Isn\'t ugly

 

That\'s just your perception

As you look away

 

Which makes believing in

 

Up

 

So

Soul

Destroyingly

 

Deadening

 

I am the opposite of up

Floored

 

Don\'t pick me 

 

Up

 

With your lies

 

I\'m the opposite of up

Dead

 

Passed bargaining

With the devil 

 

I am the opposite of up

 

I am 

 

Alone
