The Journey Within

A battlefield of delusion 
A victim in the walls of her own conclusion  

Smothered by the tapestry of threading thoughts 
The guilt lurking, persistent knots

Blind to the bright and forgiving revive 
She descends into the depths of another disguise 

A breath like suffocation 
This powerful realm of obsession  

The worn pages flip one by one 
Her vision scattered before the setting sun

A burning flame that simmered 
A dimming radiance in her eyes that once glimmered
