Lessons

Lost in shadows dwindling inside
Tumbling motions of dancing verbs 
confide
Denied simple simplistic logical 
understanding
Demanding guilt taking possession my 
soul branding
Questions thoughts dreams lies and 
defeat
Packed away in my colorless eyes all nice 
and neat
And so I emplore ....when can I breath 
again
Open that door and see my friend

Library time tick tocks like a flight of stairs
In silence the deafening screams and 
sudden blank stairs
The way they look at me empty of song
Speaking to me teaching me I was wrong
