I Can't Keep Standing in One Place

When it comes to poetry, it's not about discovering what the author is trying to say, but it's about understanding their work the way you see and understand it. No certain interpretation is wrong.

In my pleased more timely years
it was the shadow
the branch that trickled
and echoed the voice of greed
that I desired would proceed
into an battle worth enough for me

Engrossed into wrong
as I sang the heart wrenching song
was my way of being sane
in more then I could acclaim
to prove I'm still standing

But greed got the best of me
and unfortunately I began to be
the obsession,
the luminous light,
the most mesmerizing sight
that paralyzed me with happiness

Now the cloud of doubt
heavily hovers over me
hoping to be
my love, my light,
visible during midnight
never dreaming of departure
I can't keep standing in one place

Two typo mistakes that slipped by, in line six "a battle" instead of "an battle" and in line ten I think you meant "than". Putting that aside, now for the review: People try to stay strong and flawless, but being human is all about flaws, so we must try to stand and strive to become as good as we can be. The poem is lovely especially These two lines:

as I sang the heart-wrenching song
was my way of being sane
