A Mess of Words


 

 
Truth lies hidden, buried with the dead
 

 
The essence of our living, written but not read
 

 
When you stop to listen do you hear the anger and the pain?
 

 
And when you close your eyes do you see the devil reign?


 

 
The oceans lap up, reaching for the moon
 

 
Reflecting each other, creating a cocoon
 

 
An oval mess of colors and souls' burdens as they cry
 

 
Trapped in between the waters and the sky
 

 
In every corner, shadows slink about and creep
 

 
Sinking in cold darkness, we pass by and they reach
 

 
Living in loneliness, afraid of the fear to fly
 

 
Looking to follow us, afraid to accept they've died
 

 
Confusion in my words, content-ness in the mess
 

 
Annoyance from the ignorance that causes me to stress


 

 
No one can understand until the truth is revealed
 

 
Until shadows run free, and intimacy is concealed
 

 
My mind wants ease, so I close my eyes to rest
 

 
But the visions in my head are on a nightmare's set
 

 
Will the darkness become light? Will the light fade to grey?
 

 
If I walk away to find myself...what part of me will stay?
