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
