the words will not flow
the anger on the surface
writings have stalled
i’ve lost my purpose
how can dreams speak to me
when they are blocked
by the demons of nightmares
that refuse to set me free?
these faces
these places
they plague me
they mock me
play games with my feelings
my vision is blurred now
i can’t seem to find out
who i am
what’s my plan
where in this world
does my loyalty land
no more straight lines
sunrise or clear paths
just hatred, despair
and the violence of aftermath
of my life and my choices
my trauma these voices
fighting inside of my mind
trying to hide
leaking outside
from my ears and my eyes
i’m imploding
exploding
i’ve no more to give
this faith is breaking
this life is taking
my rawness
my talent
my reason for being
i’m no one
i’m nothing
the words have gone missing
the sirens are blaring
as they search for the past
a search that won’t last
because who i once was
is someone that’s gone
maybe that’s too much
but tell me i’m wrong…
