Life


Despair and Melancholy They cover you in their vision Darkness holds your hand, such a gentleman Time treats you, if you were his child Silence as your promised one Oh Agony, why weren’t you in the family reunion? The years go by, nothing changes Shadows and Suffering are your allies They try to guide you away from Depression He will put a trap they say Bait it up when you least expect it Clamp you go, into his claws you are Going deep down into a hole that closes the light Down a black abyss of a rabbit hole Feeling yourself surreal, so numb Not knowing what it is to have sensations The ones thought real, are not Yet you say, they are They are not the ones to pull you out The one needing a breathing, warming, feeling human being Grasping your body Having that physical contact, is it real? All those voices yelling and crying, making sounds Low and high Ruined by eyes of pity Stepping back now you see why you have done To take that step back or front one Now you make sense of the doings But it is still foreign Making you be little Variety of emotions that Time tries to take Making you a stone wall Individuality will be taken Events take toll upon some Comments ruin some Leading to tragedy Everything stirred in a melting pot This is why I write To make a story within another, to make you think Feel what it's telling you
