Empty Dreams


Walking down the street of "Empty dreams" Realizing there is nothing left of me. Every step I take I slowly fade into the heavy winds, Little by little. My surroundings engulfed in flames No one but me, myself, and my shadows Entering the bowels of what others call "Hell" To me, it's paradise. Not a single soul in sight No movements No noise No rules or regulations to follow No one trying to force religion down one's throat Lastly, no phony leaders who preach false hope to the lower class for RESPECT. Living without any care has it's positive moments Until you reach the breaking point of no return You begin to worry about what you could have accomplished Regrets. Failure. Rejection. Limitations. Loss of self-confidence comes together as a whole, Creating something much more frightening and vile to the human eye. You begin to wonder if changes could be made If the pain will go away Will you see the light of day but.....despite of thinking so much about it all The main question you wonder about is When all said is done, will you be truly HAPPY?

Onyxbliss

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York on a winter morning in January the 15th. Once a baby known for her colic of hell has grown into an inspiring young African American woman. She is a poetic metal head who is currently aiming high as an Early Childhood major. Her success so far is nowhere near over just yet. Her words flow with ease like a Summer's breeze. Don't be afraid to enter the mind of Onyx Bliss, also known as Talaya. You may be amazed or afraid or even worse offended but keep in mind nobody has time for any ignorance you may spread. She is not here to impress but to express to relieve some stress off her mind. Most of her words may not rhyme but guaranteed she will remain strong as her dream of becoming a poet will soon hope to come true.
