Push

I can see at night
their fires burning on the hill
and I know that they are
slowly coming for me
step by step
coming to claim what
they think is theirs

I can see at night
the red glow
miles and miles away
the embers floating to the heavens
and I know that
He is coming
to stand under the Street Light
and watch my windows
and smoke His Cancer

I know at night
when I can't sleep
it is some curse placed upon me
with their pagan ways
and pagan chants

I can see at Night
the bad dreams
seeping under my door
and wriggling through the cracks in the wall
waiting for me to breathe
so they can enter my
mind and infect it
with untruths and sorrow

I can see at night
the broken hearts
the bleeding minds
the blood and filth
and I know they are coming
for me

And they will tie me up
and shut me up
break my fingers
sew my mouth shut
so I can not let the
words out

but no matter
what.. I will
find a way
to empty these
thoughts from this
eggshell skull

They can not defeat me
they can not silence me
not with prisons
or with their magic
or with their nightmares

I should have fallen from
Grace
long before this
but now I'm strong
enough to fly
and soar
and be free

So take me to the edge of this cliff
and push.....
