Jacob's Falling by ayd91(op): 7:31am On May 25, 2015
For your ears,
But not your eyes.
I planned it all,
So true fate testifies.

In time I stalled,
Refused to believe,
Refused to interfere,
Refused to bow,
Coasting through till the end that was mine,
So true fate testifies.

I sit in this shadowy Palace,
Encased in royal doom,
I feel it's a dungeon,
They called it bliss,
So true my past testifies.

My movement ended with no move to make,
So too my moment stayed,
As I strayed from my appointed boom refusing to be doomed,
So true fate testifies.

Shackled! Refusing my end,
Making lies of prophesies,
I fall,
Making a broken image of my once prestigious self.
