Why does my heart have to race
While I’m trying to get there in fast pace
I start to fall like a shooting star in outer space
Barely having enough time to truly brace
Falling down the stairs hitting the campus concrete
Laying in the bitter tasting stone cold defeat
Wishing I was a agile cat that landed on their feet
I get up angrily deciding not to cowardly retreat
Why is my heart always seemingly stuck in a race
Screaming at me as if I’m a statue stuck in place
Feeling like shattered glass on the concrete face
I continue to walk forward despite my lack of grace
I was at my lowest on the hard rough ash floor
Yet I still rose to rush out the heavy door
Even if my ankle has begun to ache and be sore
I chose to race to move onward evermore
I fell down the stairs today lmao
I know you far greater than you believe
Which you will never ever perceive
For I must be oh-so naive
No matter the feats I achieve
I’ll never be the sage of your desire
For I am not a bush of fire
For I am not a red handed liar
Nor is it something I would ever admire
Everyone says yours intentions are altruistic
Even if your words are disgustingly simplistic
Always interrupting me when I’m just being realistic
Acting like I’m the one being cruel and antagonistic
You get up to leave whining about not being wanted
Before you left I was cowardly taunted
Your cruel question has left my mind daunted
I’m shakingly still as my heart is haunted
I couldn’t answer your question then and I won’t now
I absolutely refuse to quietly submit and bow
You’ll forget that this all happened anyhow
As I sit angrily wishing that I could forget somehow
Oh what is the heart
Passionately beating in the chest
Lying in the creation of art
Most akin to the souls crest
Hearthstone of the body and mind
Where warm hardy flesh lies
Center of vitality for all kind
The reason we continue to rise
Oh what is the heart
The lifeblood of all needed protest
Often ignored by oppressors in part
Heavy closed hitter in the oppressed
The heart is many things to find
Whether an organ or symbol to the wise
Perception changing as it becomes more defined
Never perfectly clear where it truly lies
Long boi
what is this thang
Says the vampire -_-
Bet vampires would hate garlic powder.
The words slip out before I can even think
Heavy breathed words I can never forget
Its pressure makes my heavy heart sink
Even if I gave myself the threat
I’ll deliver endless expressions of regret
Until I feel myself becoming an anxious pink
Never fully realizing the weight of emotional debt
Falling under it all as I shrink
I’ll say my sad sorry with a loud clink
As my body is crushed from fret
I barely avoid it with a shameful slink
Even with this chance I know it will all reset
I BEG of you, brain. Please.
