void

Feel the lightness of your feet

Slowly lifting you to sleep

Sultry nights and days of chills

Take a hit and flush the pills

 

Is it sleep or a nightly mare?

You will see a purplish flare

So high and bright in the nighttime sky

Your light tipped feet will make you fly

 

Slowly sucked into the core

Like your mask into your pore

You were once a man, a man so real

But what is left is the urge to feel

 

Find yourself lost and found

Scream all you want, you’re just a hound

You’re trapped in the vacuum, your numb brain

Your heart, your lungs, they feel the pain

 

Breathe all you want, the toxins stay

Doesn’t matter if you find another way

Corrode slowly and change to rust

All you wish is to quench your lust

 

But no, you’re doomed, just like we all

To walk the earth, one lifelong hall

Escape, no, windows or doors are not around

You need to make the best of what you’ve found

 

Call it hell, filled with terror

We make our own, we’re our own bearer

Open your eyes and clean the pus

You still have the chance to catch the bus

 

But if you fall asleep and wake at morrow

Uncork the bottle and drink the sorrow

If you flush it down with a pill or two

You’ll find each morning; you’ll just be you

I really love and enjoy reading your poems. You do great in writing. :) This poem brings back all of the memories and as I read it until the end, it really touches me and breaks me inside. Well, that's what I felt reading this. Though I wasn't sure what is this poem is all about, :) Anyway.. nice work, new and exciting. :)

I must admit, this poem is a combination of different flows I've had at a certain moment in my life. It's more of a compilation of feelings, happenings and certain unwanted nostalgia that came and crossed my path again and one point. It's kind of a struggle, to find your own self, it's a struggle of survival that all must go through in their lives, some take it harder than the others. It's a question, and a statement for myself, an eye opener of what could happen. It's a call out for change from me to me. Hope that explains some. Thank you for your reviews AnonymousOne, they are all highly appreciated.
