BREAKTHROUGH

Breakthrough

stuck in this prison
my mind goes black
i examine all that has risen
as my heart walks the plank

because again here i sit
the same girl in my mind
her feelings cross-knit
as i continue this rhyme

her body still sobs
she wants to just stop
but the mountain does it's job
and she is kicked from the top

when she hits the floor
emotions litter the ground
out of her head they bore
much faster than sound

she tries to keep them in
but the barrier's broke
feeling all of her sins
she is about to choke

one hand on her throat
the other in the air
she now gasps for breath
realizing life isn't fair

but she regains her step
getting back to her feet
keeping up with sobriety
but shifting her beat

the wise girl has broken through
the question is will she remain
i was there, watched as she grew
but a body's hard to maintain
