Drowned in Silence

Time comes slow but leaves so fast.

We were awake one day,
We were awake one day.

I blindly traversed through the darkness,
my bare feet torn into a mess,
But I felt nothing.
No sting,
No discomfort,
Just walking without any effort.

The darkness was burned
and light has came for me to be discerned
from the many that unknowingly stood beside me.
That day, I paid a fee
unbeknownst to me for hearing their pleasant sounds
that bounds me to unearthly grounds.

We were awake one day,
We were awake one day.

With my clear eyes, I saw
the splendors of nature’s laws that reign above all.
But like what happens when staring at a star too close,
my vision blurred from all the woes.
Forced to cut my breath,
I sentenced my thoughts to death.

I may never know the sights of others
or a life that my curse doesn’t bothers.
I’ll probably leave with great regret
that I’m doomed to forget
and repeat a life unsatisfied
by obedient choices I can’t override.

We were awake one day,
We were awake one day.
But our minds were dead
with our hearts resting in bed.

Your writing is so phenomenal and I felt a little too connected to it, but that's good because when you're writing you want your readers or peers to be able to connect to your writing and your lyrics and stories and many more so thank you for sharing this to the site.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Hazel Clark. I’m glad that you can connect with my writing. I’m doing my best to make sure the readers can stay immersed as a good practice for my future stories. For now my vocabulary is a bit limited so I’ll write what I can convey.
