real eyes
In the depths of despair she once roamed Haunted by voices, her mind not her own Addiction’s cruel grip, a relentless foe Reality blurred, illusions took hold Aside the chaos, in the quiet of her mind, A secret weighed heavy, one of a kind, A truth discovered, a burden to bear, In the depths of her soul, she tasted fear The voices whispered deviant tales She fought & struggled, but to no avail Lost in a world where delusion reigned She stumbled, she fell, her sanity strained She longed to share, to open her heart, But the demons within tore her apart, When she spoke, the words contorted, Purpose lost, her mind distorted Thus in her past, mistakes were made, Actions taken, debts unpaid, Regrets weigh heavy, but the deed is done Severe colours now perceived as her truth It took a while, but she did it, she’s free, From addiction’s chains she had flee Through darkness, she sought the dawn, as the first light broke, her new life began And as time went by, she started to see, Her burden could be her key to be free, For in her truth she found colossal grace, A light in the darkness, a guiding embrace And as she nears the verge of the sublime, She knows it’s almost her time to climb, To rise from the ashes, to soar and fly, A testament to strength that refuses to die

Journey to Freedom
I will always love you How I do It hurts me That we’re strangers again Will we ever know Each other again? I know we will Or this longing Will never cease Though I hate you again I still want you The same way

Thoughts on you
I admit The mistakes I made Were intentional I played life like a frisbee And it always comes back around Biting me like a wild dog So in the end I have no one else to blame But myself All I can do now Is wish life Had some kind of rewind button

Guilt
Of being stuck with A fate That is our very own Can’t be changed Unshaken Such a great tragedy indeed

The Great Tragedy
Who shall I run to? Life is creating free choices for me And telling me to take it, this is my path I’m wallowing in a self-sabotaging territory Pleading with myself, to do something about it A need to be seen, to be accepted, to be held A need to also remove the importance from myself A need to be beautiful and shallow And not go through as many philosophies in my head each day A need to write and not be anxious about it I’m in a cage and it’s getting smaller I’m in denial of my own fate Why me? Why so? Why this? Why do I have to see everything so clearly? The knowing, bothersome by the days The concealing, revealing I want to cry till I’m no longer sorry

The price of Wisdom
my bludgeoned heart bleeds my soulful mind pleads my aching eyes scarlet like the fire in my lungs makes it hard to breathe love is, and always will be like a fatal car accident this time I didn’t survive it with no peace to rest in

God
I’m starting to recognize the awareness that my very essence, is to become a well rounded person when I’ve finally unshackled from the chains of indulgences that are only to my detriment I’m ready to becoME.

Becoming ME
as I’ve learnt, a long time ago a blue sky, doesn’t make a beautiful day for beauty, even in our perception lies within
