Changed More Then You Know

Are you just going to stand here and wait
For an end to your own misery
Are you going to sit here and wait for your worlds to collide
Is all you see is no way out
A dead end to life a memory lapse of reason
How bad do you need it
How's that fix going to save you
It's an endless race for incurable peace
It only takes one act to end the whole play
Are you the fallen star you portray 
When will it all burn out for you
When it's to late to turn back around
All this space That you fill with pain
It will only get you so far
Soon it all will be out of reach
What you seek you may not find
What you desire may not fill that void
What you fight for maybe someone else's beliefs
Are you strong enough to stare down the devil in you
Can you find your way back to the light
Is the scars of your war real
It's a mortal delimma
It's a delicate seed 
How will you grow beyond this rage
Catastrophic it may seem
But what the mind does when you turn to highs and illusions is create how things may seem but that is not how they always are
Take a look beyond your horizon  challenge all that may lie ahead because when it is your time to go you will have changed more then you will ever know.

I've really been enjoying your poem, and the emotions and imagery are so vivid that I could easily picture them being brought to life through beautiful illustrations. I'm a freelance manga/webtoon artist who takes on paid commissions, and I'd love to discuss the possibility of adapting your poem into a visual storytelling piece if you're ever interested.
