| I measure time and dance the mute music of madness My mind cluttered in a chaotic cloud of conscience My recourse riddled with resentful realizations And all the while the mirror chides my every motion
I walk along some distant darkened shore of depression My hands aching and wet from the struggle My steps labored from the relentless undertow of regret Life streams around and under my feet without stopping Confusion sticks to me like the salty residue of a onerous undertaking The tattered remnants of my imagination ridiculing me as I go Each jagged shell cutting into my heart I fall into the endless emptiness around me I fear I will not reach reality again I am lost I cry
The flood of emotion awakes me from my nightmare I look to find my closest friend My eager fingers reach out to touch her smile I welcome the strength of her soul beside me And embrace the tranquillity again |
