weight of the soul

songs to be played
but never to be heared
written down prayers
for the endless herd
to me it conveys
a question to contemplate
is my soul weighing down me?

is this the reign of beauty
is freedom to be seized
shall i look back on the time
and realize I believed after all?

poems on canvas
your gaze
thoughts like stars in the night
a deity I try to outrun

I ask again
is my soul weighing down on me?
is it the cause of my restraint
oh, how i fear it to be the shackle to
drag me to blaze

but how could I brake the spell
I could not replicate?
I seek to address the entity inside
behind which curve do you hide?
too long have I let you slip by
hear me, as I ask again!

Is my soul weighing down on me?
