Intriguing Reality
It’s been so hard for me again as life rolls on
purging myself with intuitive reactions
burdens I’ve built with pointless interactions
Longing inside with tortuous delusions
Life’s delicate enhancement of dissimilar illusion
Fading within as the lights go dim
alone without response
shameless as my self esteems lacking within
It’s like everything’s slowly falling apart
trying to figure a way out of this
among those who manipulate my spark
What to do now is the question I fear
where can I go with you while trying to keep the ones I love most ever so near
Losing everything that I’ve had situated for years
What’s the next step in my journey I’ve salvaged amongst my peers
burning with internal anxiety
as I watch my life flash in front of me without containing my reality
I’m losing this war souls lost step
becoming lost instead of being inept
Lasting goodbyes to those who have been there
lingering thoughts keeping
my soul lacking despair
Lasting looks to those I love so deep
see you soon
as my mind and body drift so peacefully into the deep
I’m sorry I let you down and it hurts
Always remember that life is only what’s written on this granite
below is all that remains of me in the dirt
