Withstand the Forces

Who is there, that can understand The thoughts of another Withstand The forces I wonder, are too strong But somewhere inside You'll see whirlwinds of feeling Emotions unsettled like The Movement of Atoms, lights Going off lying right in their sights, Crashing and reacting, but wait. Fright Settles in and flight not soon after, Good bye to the products of peace, hope and laughter Good day to the forces, our self-constructed master It latches on like lichen to the tree, Much faster than our dreams, much stronger.. Is the beating inside our chests, unlike the bruises on our breasts from the tests we've been taking each hit Aimed at breaking the beauty in our souls Bending Blinding Forsaking Fending Finding Yourself. Is what it comes down to. How dare you try To comprehend another When you cower in your shadow, your ever silent brother Praying to it Like an idol While it sits by, idle But warmth does not come here, it is illusion Blinding you, begging you find resolution. Do not hide any longer in the lies which you monger Do not bide time in the falsehood, you are stronger remove the handicaps born from your thoughts Do not even glance at the sign that says "you must be this tall" You make yourself, who you are is not molded by the forces of corners and walls The box placed around you is weak and will fall With just the right focus, your courage will call Letting you rise to the occasion No longer will your mind be a sight of invasion Look, now you see the weak efforts of persuasion From forces that once caused such painful lacerations will now be reduced to simple abrasions But we can brush it off in this hazardous occupation A seldom driven road but the best destination For reaching the end expels the air from you in a happy sigh of relaxation For in your new abode You finally find a friend whom you thought you had left behind It is yourself, truly and purely For surely only then can you dare to ask another, "rise with me, withstand the forces, and we can be brothers"
