Full Circle

 

Looking back at who we were,

Fearing my change.

Thinking is too hard to bear

Knowing I am the one to blame

 

I’ve always been told,

My soul can’t be sold.

Escaping this world before we are told,

Change brings fear

And to fear is to insight War.

 

We fear who we are

And cause internal war.

We change how we appear

In hopes of diminishing our fears

Rarely fears leave but commonly

With change we bring difference.

 

Differences then cause fear

Which in turn cause war.

But somehow we hear

The world still singing, still turning

As everything we believe

Falls in full circle

Repeatedly crumbling, igniting the burning.

 

The burn doesn’t hurt us physically.

It is invisible to our eyes

But it is felt, never touched

Its stings cause cries,

It cuts with it lies.

But it makes us suffer as we fight.

 

The War daily fought

Is not with guns or bombs.

It is a fight for our lives,

One to destroy the lies we’ve been taught.

 

The fight or flight theory

Is not a choice to keep.

Fight or flight is not a choice

For internal battles that make us weep.

 

Fear and hate can be changed.

Wars can stop, we can clear the stained.

But just as through time and history

The world changes, ideas adapt.

But the world still turns, life repeats like a song.

The chorus plays again and again.

 

Likewise, our lives, like songs repeat.

Our best times playback

As do our worst.

Our lives cannot be freed from going round and round

Like a carousel, our fates travel full circle

Until we are forced to surrender.

To the change, the hate, the fear, the war.

 

But we fall in full circle to end it all

With the blades, the pills, the ropes,

With whatever we can use to stop the pain

To stop the fate from our pain that cannot be stopped

Until we end it ourselves.

We surrender to the pressure and the pain

As we watch our bodies drop standing above them unseen by all,

Watching history repeat itself, as every piece

Falls full circle
