I was lost
So trapped
Screaming
Howling
Through this hollow soul
Bleeding
The spirit
Crying out
F*ckin' screaming
The life a-fades away
The foolishness
Dreaming
#Imprisoned in this shell
The shackles
Just believing
Forgotten in the mist
Barely
Even
Breathing
#vss365
You ripped down these #walls
Fooled your way within
Dented armour
Messed up soul
Cries at times
Mostly clownish grin
All there is
All there was
All there might be
All that will begin
Haunted stares
In a cracked mirror
Twisted
Fallen
Til the man is made of tin
#vss365
You ran a #racket
You were a scam
You're not what you think you are
You're content with "I am"
Never stretching or growing
Or learning from loss
To dramatic for everyone
And bitten by frost
Forgotten by yourself
Forgotten by time
Forgotten by yourself
Forgotten in mind
#vss365
If your mask slides
Your barriers fall
Your shield is cracked
And so are your walls
If your smile is invisible
Wisdom erodes
Strength melts away
Laughter corrodes
If your eyes are empty
Your hope is bereft
If you're stripped down to you
Is anything left?
#vss365
You're lost in the shadows
Shrouded in darkness
Blind to the light
While it's frozen inside
The stars out there burn
Penetrating night's blanket
Just a #glimmer of hope
Is all you need to survive
#vss365
At times weary, jaded
Lay waste to hope so faded
You may be battle worn
Staggering, stammering, rage at the storm
Fall into shadows but not despair
Cry out your eyes, then rip out your hair
Stare out empty at the chasm wide
Just a #passenger on this ride
#vss365
She was the font of all knowledge
The #oracle, the wise, the sure
She was the twisted, the mangled
The fallen, bruised, impure
She was the memory misguided
The tender, fragile twist of fate
She was the angel of lies and deception
She was the forgotten, the gone, the late
#vss365
The #primroses Monday, masked the pain
The ocean on Tuesday, relief
The stars on a Wednesday drove me insane
On Thursday just brought me grief
The debauchery Friday, f*cked up my mind
Saturday, do it with friends
Sunday wasted, a thief in the day
The next day do it again
#vss365
Broken defences
I brought you inside
Now just a memory fades
The cracks in my being
Cemented again
Another cold thought to invade
A moment was joyous
In a world full of dark
As I slump back into my hole
Left scars on my heart
Tears in the eyes
& #fingerprints upon my soul
#vss365
I recognise
The #sugarcoated lies
The dream
Was a scream
This darkness, a life
These wars
Never pause
This panic
This strife
One with the pain
Once again
Silent cries
Mistaken
And breaking
Still never wise
Forgotten
Downtrodden
The hope sometimes flies
#vss365
I #sleepwalk to the edge
On the ragged brink
I'm a fool with no time left to think
They're all stabbing and clawing
Hoping that I sink
Fall down once again
I break bones on the dark
I'm an idiot with a twisted darkened heart
Scratching, and laughing
Tearing me apart
#vss365
You #hurt me with lies
As cold as the wind
You scratch me with claws
Stick me with pins
You want to break my will
My heart and my soul
Poisoned by your venom
Try to keep control
I keep marching onwards
You won't break it all
I stagger once again
But I'll never fall
