Jolted by Twlight

I ruminate about the past 
    in the roaring rain, 
I never understood 
   the happiness game, 
One of my architects 
  used brutality to enlighten me  
I wondered if this was the
  reason my spirit was so cold, 
Why did my eyes resemble the winter snow?  
I didn't find empathy until 
  I transited back in time. 
There were endless pieces of me I.  couldn't find. 

At dawn, I wore my impostor smile.  
  Until Insomnia became my pristine first name, 
Jolted by twilight, I saw my truths
    shimmering, from the sky, 
I learned to be content 
  with my shadow 
     and those luminous scars.
