You heard the streets were paved of gold
A beautiful city lays around you
The air smelling of tranquility
Closing your eyes
Taking a deep breath in
Savoring the moment
You exhale
Opening your eyes
To what reality truly is
Streets dirty and covered in trash
What once was beautiful is no more
Than vacated, decipated shells of what
Once upon a time used to be
The reality of the situation
Is traumatic to the soul
Abusive to the brain
Violating to the naked eye
Like a virgin being deflowered for the first time
You bite your lip in the wake of the pain you feel
Inside
Drowning in this emotional ocean
That you created yourself
The negativity pours in
With no escape it increases
Until you are overtaken
Going under with no where to go
You know what you must do
Your past selves prevent you from
Doing anything
Dragging you into the abyss
Their grasp on your ankles
Shackles that can't seem to be broken
You do what you must
What you've been preventing yourself
To do for so long
No longer holding your breath
You let it all go
Letting it all out
No more will you hold it inside
Opening your eyes
Your reality has manifested into something anew
A new beginning
Towards something better
