Something is out there waiting to be found, something from the darkest parts of my past. |
-Nothing Left To Fear- by Keaton Foster By the shore Of a stream Is my most Precious dream In that place Is something Once left Carefully placed By these very hands Way back when I was just a child Seemingly An incapable monster Learning what to do Becoming at one With an inner beast And a deep seeded need Understand if you can That such a feeling of compulsion Must always be acted upon Throw in the risk That was once faced Back when I was a child Then what was done By these very hands Becomes understandable But no less inexcusable Survival has always been And will always be My one and only goal Considering my life What I’ve seen and done To me there is no surprise As to what humans will do In the name of And under the guise Of self-preservation Such things Never surprise me Saints Will become sinners And sinners Will become monsters Animals of both light And absolute darkness I have not returned To that special place Since the day that I left Collection offers no purpose No identifiable reason Nothing good will come From exposer to what’s there It will not be found By luck or by searching Never will anyone know Because I alone Hold its home Closer and closer To my fragile heart I will always refuse to tell Why should I ever A question often asked An answer That won’t be given Nothing left to fear The reality is clear I alone understand What I’ve done And when you do Such a terrible thing There is nothing else Not a damn one That could ever come close So as long as it stays there Right where I placed it Then I’ll be fine Everything after that Is nothing compared Upon the back of every story That I have ever penned Rest the smallest of piece Of something quite whole Something placed So very long ago Those who read And dare believe Will always be One step closer To what is out there By the shore Of a stream Is my most Precious dream Nothing left to fear Reality made clear Duality driven away By an unwillingness To ever dare betray What I alone Know is there… Nothing Left To Fear Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2014. |
