Simply

"Simply"

I fear that I was pushed.

I've fallen.

Fallen far into an abyss.

I've hit bottom and find,

There's nothing I miss.

Nothing that I want.

No dreams.

No desire,

Nothing I miss.

I can't feel the fire.

Fallen too far.

Too dark.

Where no rope can reach.

Where finally there are,

No lessons to teach.

And it simply is,

Simply,

What it is going to be.

Nothing I can do.

Never free.

Burdened with a future.

Bound,

Tied down by a past.

Because simply,

Nothing lasts.

Because it simply is,

Simply,

What it was meant to be.

And simply,

That's not enough for me.
