An idolization of the past for the accomplishments that leads us to the here and now. <br />We should be proud and continue on steadfast. <br />For we all walk upon where they left off. <br />But instead we try to be better and greater in our own right. <br />Too busy making comparisons. <br />To realize we still have so much to do. <br />We got to leave something for next generation. <br />Instead of bathing in our own celebration. <br />Looky here, look what I did. <br />A braggart under an assumed name. <br />Wearing a mask for the fame. <br />Changing how the game played. <br />Bending the ruler till the tension makes it snap. <br />Suddenly enveloped in thoughts not of your own but of others. <br />A paranoia of life itself. <br />Push the indifference felt upon everyone. <br />A suffering from lack of acknowledgement. <br />A existence that becomes a non-existence. <br />A void that will suck you in and destroy. <br />The weight becomes 10 fold to an infinite power till you let it go. <br />An acceptance of fate that you shouldn't try to equate. <br />Breaking it down into little pieces. <br />For sense must be made. <br />Splitting the sword, the hilt from the blade. <br />The pieces by themselves mean nothing. <br />But together as one it slices and dices. <br />A wounding weapon never meant to be apart. <br />The final destruction of the heart.<br /><br />Ace Of Black Hearts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anti-selfish-poem-an-ancestral-indifference/
