Perceptual Imbalance

It goes like this, one, two, three, four

Scary thoughts knocking on my door

I'm at a loss, searching for more

Given an unknown dream that feels out of place

I'm standing still while the world partakes in this race

In the opposite direction my heart will take chase

 

At times I feel so empty in my thoughts and hopes

With displeasure and misguidance my mind mopes

I feel a shove as I take to the tight ropes

My mind takes refuge in this undiscovered atmosphere

Echoes distort what is here, what is there, and these thoughts I hear

There is no comfort from this ever so foreign fear

 

Painfuly I feel my mind begin to retract from my soul

Misery is sinking in, I'm second guessing every goal

Reality has struck and the world is taking it's toll

I've gone to fast on this road and broken down

Try as I might I can't wish away this everlasting frown

In thes abstract tears I begin to drown

 

By night the day and my thoughts grow so cold

The chill of the night forces these walls to fold

I stand here stranded for my courage is no longer so bold

These demons appear from where the hide

I'm stuck here alone searching for some sort of guide

Then it occurs that; by my writing my mind will abide
