Chasing behind Every echo in my head,
So cold am I now, forget all I've said.
Searching for silence, I face my brick wall,
Circle back yet again, or break it and fall?
How far can you get, when running in place?
Protected by walls, that leave no escape....
Confused and afraid, I stare back at me,
The image distorted, my demons, all I see
You reach out your hand, offering sanity it seems,
Bricks start to crumble,  I run and I scream.
Peggy Mar 2020
In a hole six feet deep
Relaxed, I sleep
Suffocating on dreams
Glorious it seems
Sadly my eyes open
I breathe in the air
Darkness surrounds me
Blank lifeless stare
Alone in the cold
I reach it my hand
Feeling your fingers
Pulling me to stand.
Do I love you or hate you
Questions fill my head,
The answers, elusive
Confusion instead
Peggy Mar 2020
Twisted illusions of what I became
Reality becoming one and the same
Dancing and turning as a good puppet does
Rewarded with love, or at least told that I was.
Cast aside and replaced
When I danced with no strings
Lonliness I guess, is all freedom brings
All the dancing I did was instantly erased,
Distorted reality, instead took its place

— The End —
