Keep Me Paralyzed

-Keeping Me Paralyzed-
by Keaton Foster


Frozen
Stiff
Looking up
Shit
Blue sky
Oh the hell
Asking why
Nothing
Of a reply
I’ll accept that
There is no choice
No place to refuse
No chance to accept
There is just this
Motionless and sick
Trapped within my skull
Encased within this chest
I could be more
But presently I’m not
Copasetic
I’ll never be as I was again
Never speak another word
Every blank page
My only shot at communication
Too much and I’m ignored
Too little and I’m question
In the middle
Always between thought
And absolute reality
Is where most are comfortable
But not I
I am beyond comfortable
I feel so damn much
That I’ve become numb
Crippled by the pain
Left sheltered and ashamed
A prisoner in an invisible cage
Metaphysical are the bars
They are there
Where I placed them
Where I need them
Keeping me paralyzed
Keeping me from you
This page is all that we have
All that we can share
Both yours and mine
God
So far above
Vacancy admired
I don’t need faith
Because
All that I have is fate
Fate is in charge
Driving this bus
Right off a cliff
Downward the trajectory
They’ll be nothing left
Just wreckage
Just an utter mess
Maybe someone else
Will clean it up
Removing the stain
Evaporating the shame
Keeping me paralyzed
What I wish to say
All that I’m here to convey
There could be more
But fate is in the way
Obstructing a clear view
Hiding any and all truth…
