We've seen you here, Once or twice. You don't seem angry, You seem quite nice. I see some sadness in your eyes, I sometimes think I hear your cries.
Boredom. Such an insignificant word A non essential feeling A meaningless Waste of space. Fight it. Can't be bothered. I am absorbed in grayness The darkness of boredom Is suffocating, drowning me.
I'm going off at the deep end. Falling without any wings. Powerless to turn this tide. A peasant in face of kings. I can't change my fate at all. It's been taken from my hands.
This irrational fear. It's time to get my arse into gear. Take it head on. And make this fear be gone. Maybe it is time. For family to hear my rhyme. And see how I express.
I'm not shy,. I'm just suspicious,. Curious, judicious,. My defensives are high,. Not easy to climb,. So, don't take advantage,. Or take me for granted,. I hope you do know,.
Sometimes I can't sleep. Sometimes I cry deep. Sometimes I can't cope. Sometimes I lose hope. Sometimes I need a pug. Sometimes I can't be too smug. Sometimes I want a kiss.
Look in the mirror. Are you happy with what you see. The reflection staring back at you. Does it portray you as free. Does it show how your feeling. Deep down inside. Are you wearing your mask again.
In the mirror I see...
Darkness chilling my bones. Trying to frighten me. Telling me something else is there. When I'm all alone. Darkness blinding my eyes. Trying to confuse me. Telling me to turn around and run.
Unaware and making shots. Words rot. You say you're not. That person you said you hated. Your portrait's fading. This is blown out of proportion. My decisions I'm living in.
Surrounded by people, I give a smile, Blend into the old routine. Everyday, Every hour, Every minute another lie. Calm and collected, Funny and polite, Everything one should be.
Spiraling down. Tipping over the edge. Darkness descends. I'm lost in my head. I can't find the path. Where can it be. I need to find it. Before I find me. Hands out in front. Feeling my way.
The wolves are singing at my door. Shuddering down through my core. Lightning dancing down my back, Alpha, beta, the whole pack. The song is freedom, the song is life; Ripping through me like a knife.
Sometimes I feel isolated, I'm so on my own. The world is moving quickly, swift. Yet I am all alone. Everybody's on fast forward, So in tune, in sync.
For a while there I was feeling in control, powerful, on a pedestal, creating my ploy on a whim.
I have much depression, Also aggravation. I'm confused, But maybe amused. I feel dead inside, My life is like a bumpy ride. Something is always wrong, But I just hang on.
My eyes are seeing floating circles,. Head is spinning in reverse,. I'm sorry if I'm vague and distant,. When you want to try converse,. My words are senseless,. No control,.
There was a time when everything was right, each moment was blissful and bright. Carefree, evergreen smile flashing on the face but now life seems to loose its pace.
Dusk over dawn. The horizon beneath the sun. Waves cascading over the smooth sand. A cave hidden away on an island. Locked away. Hung by handcuffs against the cold stone walls. Welcome to my home.
Without the slightest hint. my days can turn dark. My mind reduced to a torrid grey sea. Drowning in blackness. I struggle to breathe. Trying to set myself free...from me. My racing heart leaps.
Look into my eyes. Tell me what you see. It won't be happy. It won't be pretty. The way I act. Makes me seem happy. It makes me seem fine. But look into my eyes. There you will see. See the hurt.
Powerful and strong It's why I think so long And find it hard to bite my tongue I may over-think And often risk being at the brink Of losing everything down the sink But I'm the owner and...
Remember her. The girl who always had a smile for everyone. She would make time if she didn’t have it. She was always there for you. She used to sing her heart out with joy.
The answer stood alone, blowing, a torn flag. The torn down soldier, bowing to her grace. An answer was found, a new beginning, a new stack. An engine was roaring, a new life spinning, a new face.
