Brought Low Till I Had Enough

I found out, walking the difficult route,
That falling in love ain’t a friend at all
No one can hear my midnight shout, I’m out
Try to knock me out, but I’ll stand tall
Help is on the way if anything bad happens to me
You were my everything until you scared me spitefully

You are obliged to see me in my vulnerable, unstable state when I hesitate
You are the winner of the race and you won, warrior of war-stricken fate 
Your breath smells like ancient-brewed, mug of beer
Your heartless actions scorches me with a fiery, stirred-up sear
Falling in love was more of a love affair if you dare say so
It’s not fair you don’t share satisfaction with me, you know?

Frightened by the frenzy of your fretfulness
You and I weren't destined to be in distress 
I assumed satisfaction cherished by yourself 
Is all that you needed, but ended up deceiving myself 
I’ll let you know that risking your life isn’t the best idea,
Especially if you were on a roundtrip to remorse and blah-blah-blah

You should choose to take the road-trip to enthralling heights beyond
You don’t want to wallow up and swim around in sulky sorrow's pond 
The best thing we could do is avoid trouble at all cost
I know it’s everything that’s overwhelming you and all…hear cheers' call
I feel you through reflection and shadow that you’re lost
I know the emptiness we indulge ourselves in will make us fall in appall
I know regret and fret will make us unhappy and fed-up…we were a neglected pup
I know you feel like the heavy world is after you, but I am for you, so don’t give up 

Gravity's pull haunted and taunted me instead of being free
Sick of fighting to the extreme, ruining my remaining self-esteem 
Wanna scream and run away or just leave me be…and you’ll see...
Saturated by your grief, waking up from your relief-given dream 
Your vibes and character beams like the brazen sun above
Your love was my kind of love until you pointed out my flaws…now, I rove…
In the aftermath of trapped-falling in your adoration
I followed the wrong path and it reduced me to frustration

Fell in the spell of love…the spell of wicked love and its ever-crushing crown
That I won’t ponder of, so don’t bring it up a thousand times to bring me down 
Your kindness is a heaven above…but, you’re beauty turned from orange to brown
Also, you’re every form of lies and goodbyes rang a bell…got me goin' pell-mell
You ought to be from the depths of hell all the damn way 
In this cell is where I fell…what about you? Oh well…hoping you’re swell
You’re behind the shady shell you hide in in all hours, all day
Found it funny that I felt your bitter-envy energy…well, I can hardly tell
It’s okay if you have take your time and be you totally, okay?

Won’t back down, at least not all the way down
Won’t be played the clown up in this crazy town
You’ll eat the dust I kick with my boots in the sand
The desert is my home and the sea is shining so grand

Let it all out…the screams of sheer fear 
That is way too loud for my ears, my dear
You’re going afar, but you feel so close
I can feel your touch beneath my nose
You touched me with vibes not my own
You broke the barriers of shame unknown

Falling in love troubled my once sane, saddened soul
My voice failed your ears and I gave in to gravity's pull

Still made whole…

Because I rose in my prudent pride…
Humility still in my positive stride
I won’t end up being a frozen stone, 
Just skin and bones, weeping all alone

I was brought low till I had enough…pushed by the blow that’s rough 
Plenty of people have it exceedingly easy and the others, terribly tough
I will be the Knight 24/7 till the day I die with a victory cry
I will be alright tonight…feel stronger in my skin, can’t deny
I won’t fulfill your drunkard's delighted paradise anymore
I feel surreal serenity, being sober and glad all the more 

Gravity will never, ever weigh me down, no, not in this tremendous town
Not until I refuse strength with a fantastically failure frown…dragged down...
Which is not any time soon, so better luck never, buffoon
So don’t ask to see me frankly fall and fail and let the splendid shores sail
I'm the solace sunshine behind the mesmerizing moon…an illuminated, lament-less lagoon
Send all my realm of worries, uncertainties, qualms and woes to jail…don’t let the bread of bravery grow stale
