Apathy?

but as for me I sit far back,
knowing that so much I lack,
alone on windy night I walk,
my heart in bitter whispers talks,
‘the world is against you,
you cannot win,
don’t bother trying,
they won’t let you in’

Falling Alone

falling alone
the world a spin
colours dance
the ground so close
the floor a stairway

unbalanced and alone

we all go down

ahh, we talk about the love,
but, I can see his shadow,
beyond the doors,
his [...]

Decisions

 

shadows boxing,

slices of my soul,

shadows deep,

light hiding bright,

across the path,

my chosen way,

I must decide,

I must dance,

I must say.

I must Dance.

I must Say.

Emotions

Appreciative

and how to think it out

a door slammed closed.
so long ago,
one wonders whether it is even locked?
or it and all behind it have simply,
been quietly gathering dust.
this door, it has been ignored,
slipping out of mind and [...]
