Anticipation floods my veins
like an ocean wave crashing along a rocky shore
When I close my eyes, I can see it all
yet I have no reference to what the darkness
consuming my mind is revealing
Stuck in a state of mind
where opposites accompany one another
in order to cope with the fierceness
of reality
Where a tear laved with disappointment
rests comfortably on the edge
of a smile that translates
an undeniable sense of satisfaction
Imprisoned by a wall
where every stone is the exact same
yet every one counts for something
different
Dreams disintegrate into nightmares
Nightmares regurgitate what open eyes display
Assumed truth

Anticipation floods my veins
like an ocean wave crashing along a rocky shore
When I close my eyes, I can see it all
yet I have no reference to what the darkness
consuming my mind is revealing
Stuck in a state of mind
where opposites accompany one another
in order to cope with the fierceness
of reality
Where a tear laved with disappointment
rests comfortably on the edge
of a smile that translates
an undeniable sense of satisfaction
Imprisoned by a wall
where every stone is the exact same
yet every one counts for something
different
Dreams disintegrate into nightmares
Nightmares regurgitate what open eyes display
Assumed truth
