Dec 2017
I have been trapped in my own mind
A prisoner to my own slave
Fighting monsters that seems to know my weakness
Bound by the chains that i invented
Tormented by voices that sounds like mine

I have become restless like the ant that never sleeps
Crickets have invaded my peace of mind
Pawns now in control of my royal empire
Demons seems to have defeated the angels in charge
My diamond crown has been exchanged for pebbles

I heard voices as quiet as the river
Telling me to learn to see as the eagle sees
For it knows that i have gone through seasons in hell
That my lips have been kissed by the devil
And i am struggling to wipe out his DNA

i try to become deaf to roars from darkness
In different scenes i imagined my own death
Then i push the limits of my energy
Trying to find light in the darkness of the underworld

How long will i be a like a sleeping giant ?
How long will i be out chasing shadows?
How long will i be entangled in my dreams?
How long will i be slipping through shadows?


I am like a king with a thousand chariots
I need to become the emperor to my fate
I will rise again for its not late
I will make my destiny loyal to my choices
I am the alpha and omega of my life
The beginning and the end of my happiness

For the night has fallen
My morning has come
In life most of struggle to actualize our true gift.. we need to start listening to our inner voices  cos they have a lot to tell us.
