Imitation Cloud
In my imitation cloud
voices heard not listened to
white noise everywhere
entrenched, engulfed, faceless
I can but cant, I try
but cant, forgive me
stained mind
bleeding, till end
help me, help me, help you
help yourself, help me, help you
what about me
who am I, but lost
fear, stains of pain
in depths of confusion
ripped apart, selfishness
daggers of life, deep
reshaped thoughts, memories
new paths to traverse
help me, help me, help you
help yourself, help me, help you
planned existence, not, but
detoured, why, why
darkness overcomes,
stained being, sad
loved ones, hurt
evil prevails, why
honour, loyalty,
disturbed
help yourself, help me, help you
help me, help me, help you
selfish inner pity
boulders to push
path unknown
my imitation cloud
to burst, how
released, maybe,
survive, to live finally
help me, help me, help you
help yourself, help me, help you
intentions, there
implied but cant
forgive, I cant
inner child of pain
inner heart of stain
forever to torment,
release of want
blocked, shadows
of happiness, not true
hidden or gone
in my imitation cloud.
