Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

Intransigent

The drum is beating in the distance,
Or is that my heart quickening?
Nowadays, I just can't tell.
It's always the same pace,
One-two, one-two, one-two.
But the wind blows it down
And the rain washes it away.
Sometimes the sun makes it grow back.

My mind grows obscured, fogged in.
Some days I just can't get a thought out.
So some days, I just cry it all out.
And no one's here so it's not like
Someone will hear me weep.

I could leave from here,
Not by moving out but by
Taking my own life.
But I'm intransigent.
No matter how the darkness blends
My sights together;
No matter if the storm cloud seems
To only be precipitating on me;
No matter how much the wind
Howls at me to just leave,
I'll know better than to listen.
