Surrounded yet all alone with your issues (warning-very long poem)
Staring up in vain
Feeling less than humane
Concentration strains your face
Heart thumping at full pace
Your focus is broken,
All of a sudden
The breeze swirls, catching your eye
A voice inside is screaming “why”?
Does no-one else car?
Startled, you pause for air
Enriched and enlightened
But still fearful and frightened
Soul searching
Time to begin
An expedition deep inside
An array of self sin
Produced in endless supply
Internally so vast
But determined up to the last
So much to sort through
A massive invasion
On this occasion
You have the will
Time plods on as you stay still
The moon vanishes
The sun gazes bright
You decide this is your fight
Decisions shall be made
Before the next night
Standing all alone,
You against
Your inner self
Diminished psychological health
Crippled and broken,
Your poor heart
The remains resemble
A mere shred
From the lies
You have led
Unable to blame external life
You realise the answers
Sit within
Memories cut like broken glass
As too many footsteps trespass
Blackened and poorly
Gone are the days of glory
You used to think your heart was so rich
As you bellow down below
Echoes fade lower in pitch
Until even a whisper is sucked away
Where no words are left to say
The silence is deafening
You stop and think, feeling so alone
But from just one night
Years you have grown
Cascading thoughts
Tipple down
Surreal feelings spiral
Emotions stir
Encompassed by confusion
Surprised by your own intrusion
Surrounded by yourself
The loneliness
Complete silence
Absorbing nature’s essence
A reflection of resemblance
The ultimate peace
Serenity spreading ripples
Seeing your life on lease
Understated
Yet overpowering, overwhelming
Just a breeze and the whisperings of blowing sand
The lightest touch against your hand
The freedom of thought
All you have been taught
Rushes through the brain
Too many thoughts to explain
A rude awakening
An array of expression
Visions appear with great thuds
False explanations causing floods
Hitting the floor beneath your eyes
Glistening bright and aloud
The silver lining of every cloud
Scattering around your feet
A mercury mist
Sailing around like a fleet
A delusion of being kissed
A whirlpool touches your lips
All an illusion
You hear the alarm ring
Awakened as birds sing
The silence
Smashed to pieces
Staring back at yourself
You see all the creases
A trail of broken glass
Finally clear
The path back
A history of mistakes
All the emotion aches
Misguided decisions
Heartache of ancient visions
Absent of courage
Alone on a stage
Spotlight beaming
Desperately you hide your rage
Fumbling for an excuse
You mind becomes loose
The heart was not followed
Leaving it haunted and hallowed
Centred deep within an array of thorns
There it lies
Ready to grow horns
The miserable cruel sight
Locked up tight
Dying to ignite
Red hot
A single touch will scorn
Where once
Love was born
Places of nightmares spawn
A sense of honesty arises
The realisation of one self sends a shiver
Fingers shake and quiver
A tingle runs down the spine
A convulsion
A judder
The truest of thoughts
Seduced and frozen for ever
Ice cold and sharp
Pain racing outbound
Hanging, waiting to spy
A disturbing eerie sound
Suddenly………….
Piecing out through the eye
The truth
A deadly weapon
Its daggers ………
Penetrate the thickest of skin
Acceptance and tolerance vanish
The surface begins to look so thin
One slice to be scarred forever
Sometimes a wrong word or two
Leads to a misery
Numbing agony
A shedding of tears
And a life of running from fears
A series of cuts and scars
Even in the darkest night
Hidden within the shadows
Tainted beauties an ugly sight
Retrieving your calmness
Stagnant and cool you begin to re-charge
Refreshed and reignited
Thinking……….
You have been so short sighted
In the far distance you see
You can be delighted
The end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
