The Far Victory

Misplacing my soul,
Drenching it in more misery,
Life has put me in places
That I don’t want to be,

Confusing the unsolved problems,
The web complicates itself,
Concealing all the answers,
That I desperately seek,

The pain,
That swims in my flesh,
Tearing me apart every now and then,
Changing my life into dark moments,

No matter where I am,
Loneliness lingers to hold me,
To embrace my tormented heart,
To isolate me from the world,

Sometimes, my thoughts would take me away,
A million miles away from the surrounding darkness,
To an illusion, maybe,
That ends when I revive myself,

Repeating itself every single day,
This vision, delusion would take 
My soul away,
Leaving me wondering,
About its hidden beauty,

It's a fantasy,
That comes to me everyday,
Thus...
 I Live,

Surrounded by sadness,
I sit and wonder,
Asking  “Why?”
Knowing that everything happens for a reason,

Continuous,
Again and again,
I would see this vision
That I incomprehend,

"Only a delusion," I would always say,
Smiling as I remember its beauty...
Deceived by it's magic I am, but
I know I would be nothing without it, 

The far victory,
Created by my sadness,
My only hope,
That I am trying to reach,
No matter how far it is…

Between the illusion, I seek for my truth,
My victory…
