Blink

What have I done?

What have I become?

A former shell of myself

I put my soul on the shelf

and became this

 

The space between the tears

make room for all the fears

I turned my back on you

still regret it today and continue

 

Hate me , for everything I am

pull back the curtain, another sham

Hate me for something that I can't be

my memories have shaped me

once again

 

I've fallen even farther

my lies have gotten larger

I steal moments of solice

peace of mind, and promise

 

Continuation is a struggle

my life has been befuddled

the sunshine hurts my eyes

but takes me by surprise

 

I still muster a smile

every once in awhile

It only serves to remind

all that I've left behind

 

I still feel you on the inside

locked away by foolish pride

I think about you and I shake

I blink my eyes, then I awake
