Gate to Better

Open up your mouth let me shove this down your throat
you’ve gone to breach the castle gate and struggled through its moat
Over there it’s plain and simple almost as a game
The winner will keep winning,
the losers all the same
The loser will stand crumbling under all of their own weight
The weight that’s brought upon them when breaching through the gate

The winner will stand strongly,
Reinforced by pride
Doesn’t matter how they got there,
who they crushed or what they lied
The difference is they’re standing
and you are on the floor
Begging for the strength to rise,
Nothing less, nothing more

The wounds will heal and harden then be scored and sliced once more
Under skin is who you are,
the wound is just a door
to see what’s in you rotting,
eating at your soul
The shit that leaks and seeps from you at every open hole
biting screeching crawling under every inch of skin
The gate to better isn’t better it’s just what you want to begin

The greenest grass will die so just stay amongst the leaves
winds of truthful singing pushed them down from the trees
Tomorrow is not mine it’s yours for me to take
stepping through the gate to better to change my truth, my fate.
