Desolation (Free verse) by Beyond_Dreams
I'm hiding within this cascading oppression.
your breath carries me away,
so I reach for you;
but nothing seems tangible.
Shuffling emotions from deep within,
scatter along the roadside;
hidden from my own existence.
The shadows dance when I fall
upon broken glass.
My damaged body only seems like
a reflection from my insanity
buried inside my innocence.
And the world spins around me
manipulating reality to a paradigm,
Scorched and shunned I denounce you.
And it's not until I pull my individuality back
and let that hold me together,
that I remember you.
I no longer need to sacrifice who I am
to be happy without you,
It's that I'm happy with you.
I'm happy knowing I don't have to succumb to
the conglomerate views of the world and I'm no
longer poisoned with lies. Axiom.
