Visions of Pain
written by SilentScreamsofDeath11:52 PM 8/20/04i stare off in a thousand different directions
impractical i should find one truth
theoretically limited vision constricted
a thousand eyes Argus
that can't see anything
ideals shooed away by the thoughts rushing through
each passing second longer than the previous
a state not Utopian
an opinion trudging beside me
can't put the net on the prey
can't take my eyes off the blank stare
can't watch myself sit much longer
these words circumscribed
i begin to cramp in mind and hand
as my vision dissipates to a single gaze
at the lights reflection of my shadow
i come back to myself looking repentant
i cry for the eyes to come back
the blackness was a blanket of warmth
covering my true eyes like a mask
fucking eyes let me hide
fucking truth stay concealed
"leave me alone" i quote as an appeal
i was denied rejected
as the truth came rushing in(jected)
and like i said just as i expected
the truth as fake as a mask
lies given as beliefs to the questions asked
not caught surprised but knocked off track
of course to take another step back
opened my thousand eyes and could not see
closed two and the truth became me |
