this life of mine

Every word falling farther away

 

Such great laughter so seldom heard

 

The fire lit so quickly in the eyes

 

Voice so strained with anger

 

Phrase after phrase misunderstood

 

Emotions cluttered and judgement clouded

 

An ever more common feeling of distance

 

crave only to be left ignoring

 

Do you know your self or just your skin

 

The music distracting only to muffle the truth

 

Comfort given never to be returned 

 

Colors and sounds only smothering, degrading

 

Power of self control rarely woven with

 

Forever reaching for balance

 

Hoping for understanding without judgement

 

Talk with meaning not raw unfiltered emotions

 

Trust given hopelessly before it is earned

 

Love fully explored before being found

 

Rolling swifty onto escaping slumber
