Darkness lives and thrives on layered secrets tinged with lies.
And you try to undo the mess you've made with candy-coated words of yesterday??
When all the while I force a smile and cloud my eyes with the innocence of blindness,
Just to give you some peace of mind to fuel you in your shallow life.
Deception is the blade I wield to shield my fragile psyche,
For the night hasn't departed yet,
has only granted me a brief reprieve.
No, I yet have a term to serve.
I lay in pain, in silence undaunted as light invades my fortress.
And concentrate to contemplate the twines of love and life.
Black clouds roll in and my melancholy grows as around me, conversation flows
and I vale myself in complacency
to combat the endless hours.
Must I fight for my right to have light and defy the laws of normality?
Must I justify something that seems to mystify the one who condescends?
Why does anything have to make sense and be safe and secure?
Why can't I run out on a limb, burn a couple bridges and see what becomes of it all?
Don't stereotype me, or categorize me, and tell me "You're the fifth case I've seen."
So I drown myself in the lyrics and the melodies that so long ago comforted me.
And sing the words I've learned by heart to lift me from my lethargy.
And hold my head high with fire in my eyes and dare the darkness to enter,
for from the shards and photograph shreds,
from the screams inside my head
I've forged the key to fit the lock
that with each day, draws a little nearer.
mmm, super sexy, like you...
Good work hun
Very interesting. is this piece about someone being hurt and eventually having to burn the bridge?
it's great cala, like your writing is always reall good. I do have a question though, what makes you want to burn the bridg?
It's hard for people to understand my work. No, my poems never go to a whole story. someone made me mad, and I had to write.
the burning bridge stanza, is about something someone said to me, and it really pissed me off, hince the quoted words.
the first stanza is to someone in my family, and I think it's the second, is to a zoner and something they said to me on VT once.
So, it's like the verses are speaking to a different person each, except for the last few.
lol, my work confuses even me.
just nothing this is the first in a series of 3
its good, a vit confusing at the beginning, but as it goes on, it makes more and more sense, good job
