Sunken Silence
Sunken deep down into the dark depths,
So far no light has reached this part
As I swim in suspended silence,
I keep fighting to survive I pray for breath
Or is it death?
One who is drowning has no fight left
To struggle and rebel against the truth will tell,
Everywhere is darkness, time is running out
Life leaves the heart as silence surrounds
My body no more, drowned.
Awoken from sleep.
Freedom from another dream
To find myself on a screen
Watching myself as a teen
Playing a role in a familiar scene…
The young boy is locked inside
Rusty bars in a cell. He cries,
No one can hear his pleas, denied.
They lied.
Against the urges he did fight
So hard he did try.
He tells himself lies
As the sunshine hides
In the
Long
Cold
Dark
Night.
