Take a deep breath,
Wait, wait, wait, open your eyes,
Take another breath,
To suppress the sigh.
Ignore the persistence,
Get up and around,
Try not to be so tense,
Before you step forward, look down.
Watch carefully as you stumble,
Avoid hidden obstacles,
Best to start out humbled,
Easier to cope with the shackles.
Don’t dare express,
It will only make you feel like less,
Much easier to repress,
Better than facing the stress.
A liquid drop slides down your face,
Flowing smoothly from your eye,
Streaking your well locked case,
Ignored, didn’t even have to try.
The liquid fear, an illusion,
The rest of your body covered,
Nothing but a delusion,
With the same, you are showered.
Over-dramatic thoughts,
A mind that won’t accept silence,
Self inflicted clots,
On a soul with no resilience.
Ignore, Ignore, Ignore, retreat,
Too numb to move your feet,
You fail to compete,
With an inner heat.
Flames dancing around, tracing your tears,
Your skin slowly begins blistering,
Blood rises to the surface of your fears,
Still you hide, constantly ignoring.
Detachment must be the key,
The opposite seems to only make things worse,
Push away, keep away, that must set you free
From these echo’s, that feel like a curse.
Silence you demand,
But you yourself are the betrayer,
Your weakness held in your hand,
Crushing down, you are your own slayer.
Picking up the pieces that remain,
Arguing with yourself, whether your sane,
You try and try to refrain,
Yet your fear still causes you pain.
Memories, not so easy to forget,
Echo’s of the past,
Easier to hide within and let sit,
Though an eternity, they seem to last.
The truth never seems to soothe,
An illusion, a farce, a fake,
Nothing more than a ruse,
Better left forgotten for your own sake.
Thrown away into the sky,
Left to let soar across the expanse,
Let another embrace the lie,
No need to deal with the circumstance.
Continue on, forward you go,
Trying to not let the regret show,
Moving with confidence even though
all of this is a fake, you pretend not to know.
Step forward, watch your space,
The process mixed up in all the mess,
You manage not to fall on your face,
Again the truth faces you, you simply pass.
The truth is relative,
You say in your head,
No reason to try to live,
All doesn’t have to be said.
A fake smile you plaster on your mask,
A skip in your step that doesn’t quite fit,
You are the only one that would even ask,
Already accustomed to the normal hit.
No reason to fear pain inflicted by another,
Beat, beat, beat yourself, no reason to bother,
You wouldn’t want it any softer,
Then you would think clearly, without a falter.
Knowing what you want is over rated,
Often ending in what you don’t,
Simply ignore, the desire will be sated
By another fear to confront.
An attempt to understand and finish,
An attempt to walk through,
Neither could accomplish,
What your mind hides from you.
Effort valiantly used,
Success fully lost,
The truth always abused,
But at what cost?
Try, try, try,
Don’t dare cry,
Nothing but a lie,
A false lesson held high.
They say to try continually,
Yet no guarantee can be made,
A dead end I see,
What cost have I paid.
Evaluate each path,
Choose wisely,
Feel the evil wrath,
As you are laughed at snidely.
Too careful, too cautious,
Too much to take in,
Overwhelming stress,
No way left to win.
A path not thought,
A battle not fought,
Life lived for naught,
With nothing sought.
Clever, you think you are,
outsmarting yourself,
how long and how far
until you hurt your own self.
Run, run away,
No need to face anything,
Why should you stay?
What sort of success does it bring?
Easier to look the other way,
To turn your head around,
Better not to say,
and to put your feet to the ground.
What glory is truly in honor,
The feeling, the joy to soar?
Or the truth of being poor,
A lie to rot your core.
Nothing can be gained,
From sacrificing your all,
Nothing but pain,
And an endless fall.
Better not to touch,
Better left alone,
Why should you search,
Why be left to roam.
What purpose is there in pride,
Why should you flee there,
Much easier to hide,
To hide in fear.
Run, run, run, run,
Flee from the rising sun,
Hide away, face none,
Life passing by, no time for fun.
Alandros
Her eyes like a sea of stars, depthless and free,
The twinkle in them that possesses me,
Like a shooting star, flying towards its destiny,
Leaving me lost in their endless sea.
