Gravity


Gravity is irresistible.

I want to stay away,

But this concept is not unmistakable.

It must sustain on the bay.

 

I feel defenseless

In my naked soul.

As I am relentless

To my despicable toll.

 

It is hard to falsify

My withering age.

Which does signify

One stuck in a cage.

 

Humans are destined to a doom.

For what brings longing.

But ends with gloom,

And self-indulging.

 

Everyone wants immunity,

Yet no one wants to be damaged.
