The Shattered Glass Dream


Learning from disability Walk the path to the unknown Never ending escape One who knows of the simple pride Take it into view and kneel down Forever watch the black And feel all that's left A hole always undone look and see the flame Eternal awakenings drowned far beyond depression The light cannot be told So speak the truth of being trapped Clench and draw infinite war Take away one lost soul Living is my ghost The hardships unbearing Through a current in turbulence Shaking as it takes the sword of confidence No time is spared There are too many directions No one to have to think for reason An unanswered question leads to the reality Of blind sight Hold it all back and don't understand Burning sensation As a heart freezes over The blood won't shed Cover it up and stay within On and on it can't be forgiven Lurking beneath fallen clouds No power left but the deteriorated The path is broken Cut off from a final breath Spending the self portrait Of lost sense and peace Forever hold these emotions Drowned in what you call possession Glimmer a dreamed kingdom And creep the nights away A marked X as the puddle vanishes Haunting reverse insanity No words ever hidden inside Just quiet down And sleep as if beginning is at an end Choke the roots of shadows Entering suffocation as one system A tool for whom Remains as ashes For no judgment is a throne Offering a foundation without the silence Kill the darkness A cancer fading as a cure These hours are my weak weather My demons shall not be cast Dearest won't you join me To hunt this embrace And be my angel?

I wrote this when I was feeling down one day and decided to write out all my feelings during that time and went way into depth about it. Towards the end you get the vibe of one slowly getting/feeling better in the process. The rejected feelings lead into a dreamlike world where they take on their own thoughts and escape.
