Reality

Losing my sanity in a place that's no longer reality

A place of all profanity

Endless waves of struggle

For nothing more than a quick kiss,

Recreational use of poisons

Or medicine to achieve fake bliss

The unstoppable pendulum

Ever moving forward and back

The useless tests and useless fact

To see wrinkles form

And loved ones leave here disabled,

Unable to comfort

The loss of ones inner soul

That safe place which you once knew

The arms of someone that knew you

The ultimate penalty and pain

The regret and the shame,

You thought you knew what it all meant

But then everything is now backward and bent

Motionless, the stillness a melancholic confirmation

Your harness is gone

And now your spiralling,

Above and beyond.
