Alone

From childhood days I’ve looked and seen Nothing but the dark ravine, in that abyss I only knew That I was meant for a life of never-ending blue. Alone I sit and stare, wondering should I really care As others view but never see the dark that flows inside of me. My soul has felt in disrepair the days go by and my soul lays bare, the storm within, that screams and cries for the release of ancient ties. The ties that bind me to this place and time, to people that may compromise their souls for less than its full worth, thinking they will have divine rebirth. No guarantees on life or love, no hope is seen but darkness in the clouds that linger up above. Alone in this world, the void so vast it takes over this life, the grip so tight I cannot fight the overwhelming need that consumes me to the point that all I want is to be free.
