Taken

The clock is chiming Since ancient times My mind is roaming...I'm in a haze of bewilderment I'm sprawled in a puzzling maze Thinking deeply... wandering...contemplating My voice is rumbling, altering into whispers troubled by the clock bursting my skull open releasing tension oh, how agonizing deepening in my ruins my mind blank with ashes Unable to figure my way out of withering hopelessness... Thrown into my unfailing demise Don't seek after me; I'm not wise My voice is mumbling Fumbling...stricken with every word I pronounce in every devastating line missing my disoriented family taken away from my family because of my defiant decisions I foolishly took advantage of that opportunity Deepening in my ruins... Unsaved...unrelieved Have a generous amount of mercy on my soul Because I've been yanked away from my cheerful parents Give me some hope at least Wipe away the unmerciful decisions I took unwisely or I'll remain in the cluster of ruin
