Sing those loving melodies. Lull me back to sleep. Where sweet dreams will kiss my brain and their rhythm will rock with the rain. Rain- a deadly drizzle that determines death Drown the plants Ruin the worms Watch as the fire burns Fire- Life in the disguise of death. Take an old forest and bring a new breath. Ashen smoke will swirl till black is only known. Black- The color of shadows. Hide me now For Flaws cling onto this skin as if there is no other way to feed Flaws- Different we all may be, but one perception of beauty has turned against me Me- Loving a house that I could not choose. Watching as innocence fades from loving eyes. Turned by society. Everything but clarity surrounds me. Too fat Too slim Too tall Too you If I cannot embrace my insecurities How can I be me? Society- The voice with no greater sound than its impact Whispers of rumors down the hall A life of misery. Miserable- the one emotion that is constant No happy thought will push it away. No rush of anger will make it sway. No tears of sadness will wash its stains It stays My closest friend. Whispering truths of my life. "End it dear, strife is temporary." Oh how it is dear misery. Had I not given you my time, perhaps my clock would still chime. It is no wonder that life is mystery (and mystery surrounds life.)
