Running the beat

For the Beat

By Marty WeberPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Songs

can fill the space

I left between

my heart

my head

the need to feel the dread,

realization of where I've come

few

words

to

get

me

away

not to face

the pace

that has been set for me,

to believe

in my power and control

my own destiny

in the hands

of a few mistakes

put me on a trajectory

to the moon

then shoots me passed

my thoughts

my mind

my soul

my heart

it's all up to me.

Isn't it?

That question

over and over and over and over

and over again,

'til we hear what was said

from the stars,

bars

of light

filling me and tearing me inside

but then I see

it's not me they tear asunder,

the parts, the pieces

that led me astray

away

far

from You.

From You

I got my heart

I got my mind

the belief that drives me

insane with a rage

appearing deranged

as I fight

It's not for me.

Love that I have

will never take a day off

'til my freedom is complete.

Never again.

These bars

You gave me

have set me free.

Now,

starts my song.
