Always abiding by the orders
you were trained to follow
You yearned for authority
over a life said to be yours
After decades of craving
a change of scenery
You attempted to step out
of bounds and play by your own standards
And crossing that line was surprisingly simple
But you lost track of
your place and went too far
This indulgence of
control became your newest addiction
But you considered this
gluttony a breakthrough
Now you’re too consumed
to prevent further damage
You’ve run out of the
control you thought you had gained
The seed has been planted
and taken root inside you
So it’s time to grow
accustomed to being alone
You never saw the harm in
shooting apples from trees
Or realized how much
destruction you caused
Because you didn’t leave
your eyes open long enough
To watch them drop and
pile around you
Living with the weight of
the world on your shoulders
Will only get heavier
with each passing day
Maybe next time you’ll
take Newton’s word for it
When he tells you “what goes up must come down”
When he tells you “what goes up must come down”
