Beneath the Dark Sky

 


Dawn chasing the darkness away, I half - awake

And I begin to feel all that hidden pain.

Countless questions: How am I supposed to start this day?

How am I supposed to shut the silence down

When the voices grow violent, quietness takes their place.

How am I supposed to get my tasks done

When all I know is the loneliness I live in.

I have no idea where to start and where I am going… CLUELESS…

I am circling in a well-known pattern; comfortably numb from all the races I have run.

And honestly, I don’t give a single fuck if I can make it or not.

All I know is that I hate today, just as I hated yesterday

And every day stretching back for decades…

I don’t have the patience, I am tired…

What I was doing before reaching this point… still a fog in the brain.

I remember some fragments of cruelty and then love,

Who broke me is still a mystery: a family, a friend or perhaps it was just me.

I am still stranded – the debate in me continues – I still loathe this day

My life during the night is what I crave – free, unchained, untainted, untamed.

How am I supposed to care when my pride bleeds beneath the borrowed smiles.

Oh, how I wish to be able to run wild, breath racing with the wind until they become one,

I desire to scream – uncontrolled, hungry to conquer my fears.

I dream of the day when I can reach that crossroad – to be able to fully be myself.

I yearn to stand on that nexus, finally able to see from a different perspective…

Unfortunately, I cannot be someone different – I am crushed under the weight of time

I am already damaged, countless hurricanes howling in my mind.

I cannot break the vows I made years ago to save myself – my knight in shining armor has always worn my face.

I am the princess and the villain at the same time – depending on what I need to tackle.

Don’t try to save me - I am the untraceable drug in the bloodstream,

The silent quake within my world,

I am the silent shadow, the slight darkness in the corner of the lit room.

Don’t try to find me – I am not meant to be found.

I love being an echo of the long-forgotten song,

I chose to be the night that outlived the dawn.
