Gravity Poem by Justin Reinalda

Growing up I never thought for a second

About what kept my feet upon the ground

But when you're built for something

And it's absent when you look around

-

That's when you feel how heavy gravity can be

It's conflict in the air keeping you here

It's necessary for so many things in life

But it's crushing me, I fear

-

Being broken is really hard to deal with

But it means I had something worth breaking for

I gave all of me to something and it failed

The fabric of my life just simply tore

-

It takes some people a lifetime to realize the difference

Between the vision of your heart and your mind

It's like getting a glimpse of your future

And then realizing you're blind

-

One day gravity will hold my body 6 feet under

But my spirit will no longer be there

I'll be done with this weight around me

And I'll meet my Savior in the air
