Freedom: Act 1, Scene 1

By DescendingDown

Bleeding memories

Trampling insecurities
In dampened breaths
Of an unforgiving eternity

Ruins on my path to tranquility

A cemetery of scars

Solitude infecting my soul
Penetrating seeping wounds in my subconscious

Overdosing on a stagnant reality
That burns the skin from my blind eyes

    Waking up is always the hardest part. May not have been what you were talking about, but I gathered that for myself. A realization that the past was nothing but a dream that unprepares you for the real thing, what you see when you finally burn the skin from blind eyes. Like seeing for the first time, it's painful. Wonderful turn of conscience.
