A Desolate Heart

They say I'm enigmatic,
Yet I find myself lost in notions, so mnemonic.
Melancholy runs violently through my veins,
Am I too malignant to be heard by God’s reign?
People love to misinterpret,
But my scars don’t tell the secrets kept.
Never disclosed how they shattered my soul,
Is it too late to play the “Perfect one” role?
Time passes by,
Freezing me,leaving my eyes dry.
And I look up to the sky for something
I may never find.
The deeper I go,
The hazier it grows;
The harder I slip,
The darker it shows.
This pettiness drags me into despair,
What do they call it?
Uncertainty’s snare?
I’m no Heisenberg,
Yet I lose myself in the air.
"Burden!"-
keeps echoing through my limbic core,
A burden of feelings I can't ignore,
I smirk;
Will my raft ever reach the shore?
Will my wounds ever have the audacity to hum a lullaby?
I pray my dreams don’t bid me goodbye.
With my old self,
Dews stood still,
Mountains chuckled;
The air smelled of ancient books,
Yet they cast me away,
Like forgotten nukes.
O dear life, have you sworn an oath,
To turn my tears into meaningless froth?
There's more to life I console myself,
Sighing and keeping my desires unfed.
The inner me cries,”Who actually am I”?
Voidness replies “Know thyself you're no special sprite!”
Am I nothing but a menace in disguise?
Who can I embrace, where do truth and hope lie?
All that’s left is this hushed vacuity
Someday I want to get reincarnated as a flower of serenity.
