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?
