LJ Idol: 3 Strikes Week 6: Pursuit

[proceedcyclone]

The system is rigged,
We’re set up to fail;
There isn’t someone on the top,
If there isn’t someone on the bottom.

We’re asking for help,
We’re shouting about the cracks,
We’re begging for a life vest
As we drown under the waves of expectations.

But the cycle repeats.
Over.
And over.
And over again.

There’s always someone
Dewy-eyed or
Desperate enough
To take our place
If we break.

In a broken system,
Everyone loses.

But bruised and limping,
We carry on.
We’re trapped.

…do you want
to burn it all down
and rebuild it
with me?
