Broken Bridges

Everything inside of me builds
Bridges to breaking points
One more vessel straining for air
Bursts forth in the deathly sea
Of this mortal incarnation.
Meanwhile I continue to dig
Trenches in the fabric of my life
Deeper i get the less I remember
To breathe and the more i seem to recall
Hurtful days of the flesh.
Million helping hands and I'd never reach
Out to the break of dawn
Breaking is for ones who stand tall
Die in the dark but i'll never bend
Never admit a weak human spine.
My mere humanity is a vessel for my humiliation
Tool to help with the degradation of self
All I know/want/love in life
Ends up in a crumbled pile at my scarred feet,
Mighty bridges fallen so far, so fast.
