Desolate
Temples pounding
Another migrane to mark the pain
A dull throbing in my chest
shifts to full flames
Solitary. Even after attempts
I still fail. And I wonder
Standing on the brink
Watching the world advance
As I slip through the cracks
Slight optomism occasionally shines
through slits in the crooked floorboards
of my mind and soul
To be consumed by the ways
passed down the bloodlines
Nature vs. nurture?
Neither on my side
I have excuses for years to back me up
Just help to find the cure
But I've been abandoned
And the feeling is commonplace
To rot alone barred by my shaky psyche
But the sun always shines
on my desolate mind
And I retrieve the pieces
Place them together again
Start anew. Or as close as possible.
I dread
I dread the ever coming eclipse
