as haunting voices of intrinsic sense,
echo incessantly in this void
I live my life in past progressive tense
view through my eyes, obscured and destroyed
in this catatonic existence...
all that I recall
darkness has engulfed
locked inside the prison of a conscious mind
as my soul divides
shattered dreams lie
dead and buried till the end of time
all will be revealed
falling further down a spiral
ever-longing for the final exhale
digging up the pieces of a broken past
remnants of a fractured mental entity
I have never felt so reticent and null
words are nothing if they can't escape me
Within sleep, I am enlightened
Within sleep, I can live again
transverse to the other side
and assimilate in pure energy
when the blinding light is all I see
in this life, i will not be confined
I will find a clarity
redefine my perception
pushing any fear away
I'll no longer be afraid...
