Out of Body

It takes a step...

 I take a step out of life

Just a step to the right

Exit my body, still standing beside

Decide to be tied

To what you believe

My emotion is an ocean

You cannot perceive

I will not deceive,

Defy, or despise you

I will comply, identify,

Justify, and revive you

It is why I cry and fight for you

I deny the skies and give my life for you

 

I take a step out of fear

Just to step into hate

Exit the darkness, into what I relate

Enraged and agitated

Within my contemptible fate

My emotion is an ocean

With irate 40 foot waves

I wait to irritate,

Invade, and inscribe you

While I evaporate and assassinate

Every smile inside you

It is why I try and wait for you

I imply I’m perfect and break for you

 

I take a step to return

Yet anchor one foot behind

I stop in the middle, and time just rewinds

My heart breaks three times,

My leg snaps, every limb bleeds

I am also dealt the pain

I once would, oh so easily, breed

I fall to my knees

Not in pleasure or grief

Just lifelessly fell

And felt great pressure relieved

Dreading to be something

Excepting deceased

Persistently planting my feet

With my head hung to my breast

Saw nothing, and realized

That this was a good death

Looked to my right

Saw discontent, more lies

Falsity, famine, and fallible lives

False hope, and love only meant to destroy

Guns are emotions, while hearts are just toys

I am poised and unstable

Infuriated and calm

My voice is a fable

While all truth is gone

So if life a dream

Death is a step

No one truly knows

What lies beyond death

This whole thing is a cycle

Just waiting to break

And it is my duty

No…my calling!

No…my honor!

My fate.

Wow, spoken word calling, this poem has some great angles that reciprocate in the
well chosen wording, Dark and just the right amount of depth, I really like this.
