Twenty years of my life I've Lived with a time span of lucid, vivid dreams,
Their mind grasping & boggling though I've had more good than bad it seems.
Movement in the day has me sitting in a room with 3 white walls covered in pain,
calmness by the window breeze with the sun up high & not a cloud to send rain.
Racing thoughts as I write about my future though I mainly wonder away with my past,
Cloudy head, clear tears, Someone help me to understand how long misery can last.
For when I'm sad they come & when happy they go & still to me they never leave my heart,
For I can feel the pain & taste the scars that fate brang forth to tear me apart.
Admitting-ly I confess how lost I feel & yet I still know how to stand strong,
My knowledge keeps me assertive, doing only right & depriving me of all the wrong.
For within time; say 10years from now I will be much wiser, with less pain & less sorrow,
Only wanting to better myself will get me off to a good start leaving behind today & looking forward to tomorrow.
So as I continue to sit in a empty room I think ahead into the day,
Imagining Royal Palms puts my eyes to rest, my heart at ease, and takes My Soul Away! <3<3<3
