A Lonely Introvert

Signed... The Dreamer

By Steve James LockhurstPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The demons are playing games again

bringing me nothing but pain and sorrow

they pierce through my armor

like the strike from an arrow

I have been shackled and chained,

beaten and broken

it's a beautiful web

that they have woven

so I tried devotion

but they have opened

doors that can not close

no matter my devotion

I was chosen, but lost my focus

I was lead astray

never questioned the motive

burned to the bone

in fires, corrosive

it eats away the flesh

the heat, erosive

the dancing flames

cast hypnosis

burning down below

is my diagnosis

drowning for eternity

in the deepest of oceans

how did I get here

where did I go wrong

how did I lose the battle

I thought I was strong

so here I lay

covered in dirt

6 Feet under

I died a lonely...

introvert

Signed... The Dreamer
