Dreamers Around You

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blackness surrounds them

Constricting their thoughts

Spiraling down into the abyss

Another world where "I" is common

 

In the corner of depression

With the loss of opportunities

Body fading away to nothing

This is war

 

Fighting with invisible soldiers

Only seen by its owner

The soul creators of fear itself

Those minds belong to them

 

Sitting in the corners

The corners of their last will

Where their thoughts are processed and understood

The world of perfection

 

Pure art created by them

The people that know the truth

The people that are mocked

Mocked by the unintelligent

 

Labels given to them by society

Unfitted by their names

Never understood by the nation

Creating their own world of peace

 

There are many of their kind

Surrounding the world

Ideas slip out now and then

These people are the artistic

The dreamers that know

 

These people are also you.

There is a pretty authentic depection of our self-dialogue, the power and the possible mis-use of this faculty. I like the impersonal tone, it's genius.

In other words, everyone has worth, has creativity, there's no questioning, no wondering .. we are what we have even if its hidden in the darkest of thought.
Not sure if that's what you mean but how I interpret your sad, sad words.

Light to your nights, smiles to your lips

I have never been depressed that I can recall but I can relate to this poem on other levels besides depression. I know it necessary to categorize things but I absolutely hate labels, they enable us to separate and discriminate against others who are different from ourselves. I may not be able to control my first thoughts about someone I meet but I can control every thought after the first one. We are all the same and breathe the same air. Lovely write.
