Reality

Walking in shadows
Fate follows me
I often wonder
How this got to be

My soul has stopped screaming
My heart does not feel
Rotating seasons
Never seem real

Dreams of a life time
Tears in the sky
Confusion engulfs me
But I still can not cry

Visions of sorrow
Eclipse in the rain
Alone with my thought
Yet, numb to the pain

Yesterday is a memory
And tomorrow is near
Come the next day
I'll still be right here

No footprints to follow
No escaping this time
The reality which echo's
Deep in my mind

The flow to this write is smooth and quite natural, while the expressiveness alerts the reader to the inner feelings of the subject. Very well written. Michael
