Maxwell Clouse Sep 2019
She feels the weight on her shoulders
She's almost to the border
Her bones breaking
Legs are shaking
She's losing her mind
Her soul is leaving her body behind
Maxwell Clouse Sep 2019
There was a sound on the floor down the hallway.
it sounded like the thunder before a storm.
like the soound of my heart when it is no longer warm.
The sound of someone falling on the floor,
because they were fighting and ******* take anymore.
There was a sound on the floor down the hallway.
The sound of childrens feet running from fear.
Sound of feet that weren't there while you were near.
There were sounds down the hallway...
that you could hear, even though there's no one there.
You can feel the prescence, but you're alone.
You're alone in the world...
There were sounds down the hallway...
It's in your head.
But where is the hallway.

My mind is clouded.
It's surrounded.
By all of these temptations,
I constantly go on these vacations,
letting the demobs take over.

I hear the sounds getting louder.
The demons are coming.
I'm running.
Trying to get away.
I start to sway.

The demons catch me.
I am now out of my control.
How can this be...
that my life is taken from me.
In 3... 2... 1

I'm back...
My mind no longer clouded.
I guess you could say i'm back to normal.
But the temptations are everywhere.

There's a wildfire burning in my heart
Where there once was strong strands holding it together,
has now torn apart.
Letting my limbs fall.
Wondering where to start.
Maxwell Clouse Sep 2019
Perhaps I am strange.
But
I know life is short,
so
I'll live out my life
like it isn't falling apart.
I'll smile and breathe
until I cannot,
and
I'll say that it's fine,
until my heart stops
Maxwell Clouse May 2019
Do you feel that pain?
I don't feel the pain.
I took the pain away
made it rain
Maxwell Clouse May 2019
Sailing through the uncertainties
going on an unknown journey
through the past and present victories
finding the light that shines through the harmonious memories
trying to hold it together
and not focus on the misery
that has surrounded me
maybe the misery isn't mine
but the people that have knowingly left behind
