Learning from disability
Walk the path to the unknown
Never ending escape
One who knows of the simple pride
Take it into view and kneel down
Forever watch the black
And feel all that's left

A hole always undone
look and see the flame
Eternal awakenings drowned far beyond depression
The light cannot be told
So speak the truth of being trapped
Clench and draw infinite war
Take away one lost soul

Living is my ghost
The hardships unbearing
Through a current in turbulence
Shaking as it takes the sword of confidence
No time is spared
There are too many directions
No one to have to think for reason
An unanswered question leads to the reality
Of blind sight
Hold it all back and don't understand

Burning sensation
As a heart freezes over
The blood won't shed
Cover it up and stay within
On and on it can't be forgiven
Lurking beneath fallen clouds
No power left but the deteriorated
The path is broken
Cut off from a final breath
Spending the self portrait
Of lost sense and peace

Forever hold these emotions
Drowned in what you call possession
Glimmer a dreamed kingdom
And creep the nights away
A marked X as the puddle vanishes
Haunting reverse insanity
No words ever hidden inside
Just quiet down
And sleep as if beginning is at an end

Choke the roots of shadows
Entering suffocation as one system
A tool for whom
Remains as ashes
For no judgment is a throne
Offering a foundation without the silence
Kill the darkness
A cancer fading as a cure
These hours are my weak weather
My demons shall not be cast

Dearest won't you join me
To hunt this embrace
And be my angel?

I wrote this when I was feeling down one day and decided to write out all my feelings during that time and went way into depth about it. Towards the end you get the vibe of one slowly getting/feeling better in the process. The rejected feelings lead into a dreamlike world where they take on their own thoughts and escape.
