Confusion

Trapped in a world where nobody hears your screams, your dreams are just darkness

Hoping that one day you’ll remember what it felt like to know how to breathe

Tragedy surrounds you, consumes you, yet none of it is real

It’s all in your mind, a way to make you feel.

Recall and rejoice the few hours of fun, the moments just before all was consumed

Once upon a memory, a girl had something to which she could look forward

Now she only has pain and regrets and way to make herself

Forget who she is and forget all her dreams.

Used to be able to accept that feeling that used to well up just below the surface

Hard enough to find inspiration, to attempt to do what once was so mundane

Less motivation, more aggravation, no way to escape but to fight through

Alone and confused, but what can she do?

What would you say if I said reach within you, see what is right there, exposed

That hopelessness is the demon that rages inside you, clawing to be free?

If I said that the poem were me, would you lay down beside me?

Would you hold my hand and take this journey?

Let’s be free, you and me, forever, together, you can be my cliché

I will love you and hold you and all that comes with you

If you simply accept that I too come with baggage

Our confusion creates the perfect marriage.

You allow me to see, what once used to be a world full of harmony

I thank you for showing your truth and your knowing

Of what it truly means to be happy

Thank you, for showing me.
