I Have Fallen

I Have Fallen
By: Jonathan Conway

Who am I to conform
On a stage of lies I perform
To societal expectations we are born
Not yet to comfort for we are forlorn
The truest of all pains
Loneliness is the worst of all chains
For who am I to talk to
When all they do is gawk and flock to
For we are no truer than our deepest faults
We are blocked off by our tallest walls
For we are too far to fall
To small to stand
For none could meet the demands
Why must I not be free
When freedom is death to a degree
The only escape in which I leave
Let me live, let me die, I plead
Mortal wounds may wound me
Yet my sins I cannot attune to thee
Constant agony and never-ending suffer
My eyes close as my life does flutter
Please, let me be, for I have fallen
