Cursed or Blessed

poetboy5454

Darkness invades and Light is betrayed

We start to see not white or black but a blurry grey

Left to our thoughts to find the difference between night and day

 

Doomed to rewrite the past with different words, forgotten to remember we had forgot

Again and again the shadows rise drowning the candles we all hold and had sought

Still, the embers do not fade, like a constant faint heart beat providing hope for tomorrow

Trapped in the eternal battle between “good” and evil”, each new wave bringing more woes

 

Chances plummeting, dreams falsely woven yet, so easily torn

Stars overwhelmed by the suffocating night, spirits broken and worn

 

Odds forever against us, you might begin to ask why even bother to try

We are crazy, whether blessed or cursed, forever ready to battle the lies

Clinging to the faded dream, entranced by the ideals we spent our lives for

Phantoms choke us, our blood stains the ground, striking our heart but not our core

 

A burning desire letting us push through every sorrow and despair

We are insane, take it as you will, warriors soul always prepared

Tears may not show, the blood may not seep

Stand tall against our foes, as our hearts weep

Burdened with a destiny nearly impossible to complete

Crying spirits and broken hearts unable to be beat

Rising past every pain and misery, our flames of ambition consuming our lives

The sweat you’ll never see, we’ll always feel, praying to do more than just survive

Only one shot, losing ourselves to our passion as a necessity to pretend to thrive

 

Torturous existence, to know all your doubts are true and no one else ever seems to care

Giving yourself up to your goals, seeing past the heartbreak, forced to push through the despair

Climbing on the outside, inside forever doomed to fall

Smiles as fake as our chance to succeed, we must stand tall

Wrestling with our fate, our natures against our beliefs, struggling to embrace the pain

Aspirations blowing everything else way, our determination taking over, we are insane
