You can raise your voice all you like
To protest the unfair mechanisms Of this pulsing world Or you can sink your hands Into the mud And do the work that must be done some days (most days) I just need a common sense fairy in my head telling me what I need to do - Atlas Though there be hurricanes outside
I am crouched safely in the hull Of a storm-battered ship I do not know if this anchor will hold but The water has not reached me yet so hold your breath and pray you don't sink into the depths - Atlas Is this my destiny?
To be forever teetering In the precipice Of too much and not enough? overdramatic, but not exactly inaccurate - Atlas How does everyone
Do everything How can they all be so much farther ahead How can anyone juggle All the things you have to do to live I'd be lying if I said it wasn't intimidating sometimes - Atlas And were we doomed
From the start Or did we slowly fall from grace Despite salvation at our fingertips why do we (I) keep making the same mistakes - Atlas It struck me then
How we are blind to the moonlight In all but the darkest of times And yet its soft rays patiently await anyone Brave enough to turn out the lights ~late~ - Atlas You cannot escape from the past
The present, or the future Time always finds a way to catch up with you In the end not that that's ever stopped me from trying, but still - Atlas Let us walk this path
Together For as long as we can I know our paths will diverge eventually But until then It is nice to hold your hand in this precious, priceless moment - Atlas You will not understand
When I leave Your heart does not know the words I use to tell you That I'm leaving That I'll come back someday That I love you still That it is not anything you did But rather something I must do. It will be easier for me. It is always harder to be the one Who waits. thinking about the ones I'm going to leave behind - Atlas |
