Down below some of us find a home, find what we know, and what we believe, we are safe. |
-Bottom All I’ve Found- by Keaton Foster Down Below Nothing Dares go Up high Everything Seemingly Resides Safe Willingly They escaped For them Living Thus existing Is a cautious affair They won’t risk What they have Even if In the end What they have Is far less Then what’s below Blind are such fools Without reverence Devoid of calculation Blanks are their slates Careless Are such mistakes They Those so high above Those unlike me Do indeed scream They shout rules Condemn my ideas Assure me of my sin All the while committing The most grievous Acts of depravity Against their kind I ignore them As they convict me Saying that hell is home For people like me Those with no faith And limited soul I shout back Silent are my words I express What is here Darkness so clear Bottom all I’ve found There is no Place to go No ascension Or deflection No role to know No faith to betray No God to disown Nothing answers To no person or thing Nothing is everything While Everything is nothing I can stay here And never face fear I can remain In this neutral state This eternal abyss Devoid of the risk Of change For all of my days Bottom all I’ve found I wasn’t looking I was unsuspecting But here I am Where I must be Where I belong The right place For who I am And what I’ve become… Bottom All I’ve Found Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
