The Things I Leave Unsaid

59. Lost in a Dream

Struggling deep inside,

Can you see my joyful demons?

They try so hard to hide,

but still I can always see them.

•

One twists while others stab.

One kicks while another grabs,

Hold of me, my thoughts and mind,

And twists it around until

nothing's left behind.

Nothing but a cold, empty

feeling deep inside.

•

Hanging onto the feathery edge.

Curious, unsure,

but still wandering the ledge.

Maybe I'll just jump right off ,

And forget every thought in my head.

•

Lonely and crazed,

a type of madness in the air,

So can anyone really blame me

if I want to not be here?

•

Peaceful inside my imagination,

So uneasy when forced to appear.

Relaxed and in love as the virus consumes me,

But with people,

always wanting to steer clear.

•

Lost outside the story of my life

My pages all frayed at the seams.

Euphoria laying alone in the night,

Think I'm losing my sanity to dreams.

•

I used to think of my mind as

something contained and boxed inside.

But now I know my imagination

is larger than even my life.
