Iridescence

I'm tired of chasing the light
Been trapped in this crimson black night
Can't find the only way out
Even my own self, I always doubt. 
I'm addicted to the moon's iridescence. 
It's bloodshot halo makes a lot of sense
Illuminating my mind with exasperation, 
Filling my heart with a void emotion.
I'm tired of chasing the light
Don't even know if I can still fight
Everytime I try to move I cringe
Hear my thoughts, please do not infringe.
I'm tired of chasing the moonlight
I'm tired of worshipping it-- too bright
I'm tired of gazing at red and black skies
I'm tired of being deceived by its lies.

The way out is easy. Make another..... More important than your pain. I don't mean another lover. Even volunteering in an animal hospital Or tutoring kids works wonders, Panagiota xxx

And i found comfort in poetry. This is my way of coping up with pain that is too much to handle, Jessica.
