Eternal Silence of the Awakened Mind

I hear the drums beating a long the ****** city

Hearing only the whispers of strangers

I hear only hear talk of war and misanthropy

Nothing good on the news

Fear and panic is rampant through my mind

The complacent the happy ones hope for the better future

and here I am seeing the evil side of humanity

the apathetic side of humanity

the falseness the false hopes

the ugly truth falls on my head like the mid morning rain

it’s like yesterday my friends withered away

I feel this sense of estrangement for others that i can’t begin to fully understand

it’s like a never ending maze that is making me a blind social outcast

breaking me down to my very foundations

stirring up my inner feelings of anger ,hate ,self destruction

detesting logic for emotional rage that I somehow need to tame

thoughts expectations emotions racing through my ever vulnerable  spirit

I gradually become more withdrawn from people as I age

I see sometimes only frauds and selfishness

fates knocking down at my door

is there a bright essence of happiness that I will find a long this peculiar road called life ?

am I meant to fall by the wayside; to serve as warnings to the rest of us; signs posts along the way...... these thoughts are racing in my awakened mind but in vain I’m silent
