Get You Low

-Get You Low-
by
Keaton Foster



Get you low
Beyond control
Beyond your ways
Out of your comfort zone
In a place where you belong
In a place that you deserve to go
Out of that wolf
Out of that skin stained red
Such stains won’t wash away
Such scars won’t fade
The injuries you inflicted
To both yourself and I
Should leave you feeling ashamed
And if not, then for your soul
I have a mountain of pity
Even through you deserve none
Dig a grave
Twice as deep
Down to the depths
Dig until your hands bleed
Dig until you can’t see light
Dig forever if that is what it takes
Those of us who know you
Will have no issue with waiting
Patience is the master of our circumstance
Once you are there
Once the depth is clear
Once you are quite sure
That you cannot go any further
Place yourself inside
Head first
Death will not be required
You and I both know that
Ending of your life
Will change nothing
This is about putting you
In a place where you
Can never hurt another
Where you can be contained
Where you can fester within your shame
Only then will those of us that remain
Be safe from your embrace
Get you low
Then you will know
What it is like to have the whole world
On top of your head
Then you will understand
What it means to be the victim
Of your very own hands
Dig a grave
Twice as deep
Down to the depths
Dig until your hands bleed
Dig until you can’t see light
Dig forever if that is what it takes
Those of us that are your victims
Will wait…


Get You Low
