...Sands
By SolApathy
I
Am
The darkness of the damned
On this flight
Out of my hands
Sands of time
Draws out a rhyme that inflicts the mind
Tell me of a time and place
Outside this space
Where I could be me
Where you could once more see
Who I am is still
Who I used to be
This dark shell only protects me from my own
Misery
Drawing these deep rhymes out of sincerity
I cannot be
Anything else than what this world made me to be
Why can’t you see it was always me?
Tripping on the shards of my unpredictability
I tried to soothe your soul
Cloaking myself back in this shell
My hell
Hiding my tortured soul from your view
Screaming at you so you’ll run along
You can no longer play along...
won't let you suffer in this soon to be ending
…Song

You presented the blade of a double-edged sword in this haunting poem. One part of you wants people to see past the darkness and know you for the person you are deep inside, and another part of you wants to send people running for the hills lest they be destroyed by the darkness that consumes you. It's a never ending battle that can really tear you apart if you let it. Very superbly written, love. Queen Reb:).
