I weep and mourn

I shed and I lose

I am weak and I am gone

I strive and I refuse to let go of my sanity

On a highway lost in reality

I am tired of these chains, it hurts

Licked by this flame, it burns

Voices in my head control me

Like they know my every secret

I look at the mirror in the hallway

Trying to reach myself by there is no way

The darkness seems appealing

The lights are torturous, it is blinding

Eyes wide shut, an open secret

Entangling myself in this crypt

Darkness envelops me like an avalanche

Sorrow consumes me in the wake of despair

Pieces of my heart hangs on to the louvre

Waiting to seal my strive in hopes to repair

Pain cripples my heart like a raging earthquake

How much longer can I hold on to my fragments?

Devastating effects leave my soul awake

How long can I hold onto the overwhelming sadness?

There is no help anymore for mere mortals

Drifting along the wind like floating petals

‘This soon will pass’, they say

‘This is all in your head’, they claim

Is this real or am I dreaming?

Could this really be or am I sleeping

It is a shadow in the dark, lurking and wailing

Dragging my entire soul, there is no changing

Happiness is but a hopeless dream

Standing proud on a midnight summers eve.
