The years have rolled by, losing the light within my eye.
I have given beyond what the flesh can yield, I have lost my voice.
Silent I have remained in a haze of what to do’s
Strangled by religion, wrong and right- I’ve lost sight.
When do we say good bye-
Bow out while we can-
No longer want to linger in the stormy rain
This pain reigns.
How do I no longer hurt you
My spirit black and blue.
The inevitable decision of letting you go.
This I must face as I re-trace,
Looking back to where I lost me,
While drowning in you.

The spirit is drained
Yet it remains tangled in a spider web
As I lay dying from the external poison that is you.

Your voice has eroded and imploded me
Enveloped I am into a rattling sack of chimes as it entangles itself in the wind of your rage.
I can no longer hear the inner voice that is me.
Silent I have remained in a haze of what to do’s.
Frightened remaining trapped in a lion’s den.
Blinded by circumstances, insecurity, fear, self doubt, the voices of others-
Which has been the crippling disease of my inner world.
How do I escape your wrath-
Your rage
Your impulse
Your deaf ears
Your frozen heart.
Mystified and paralyzed
Remaining horrified of the word and experience of freedom.
Silent I have remained in a haze of what to do’s.
Nam- Myoho Renge Kyo
Nam- Myoho Renge Kyo
Nam- Myoho Renge Kyo….
