In a state of limbo

0 posted 2006-05-18 07:21 PM


Peace of mind,
Still alive,
Once nothing really mattered,
Except the hills I climbed.

The world rested on my shoulders like those of Atlas,
I maintained my eternal scowl, the mistress of silence,
From time to time I would give in to needless violence,
Occasionally taking out my anger on those whom I deemed mindless.  

I wallowed about in misery,
My ups and downs ruled my reality,
I was defined by my prognosis schizo,
I sought a non existent pillow,
To rest my head upon the ground,
And now the words are clear and loud…

The silence of the battlefield deafens my ears,
For several years I was defined by my fears,
I still deal with the masses blank stares,
But I know they don’t exist,
Outside my head,
I have already switched gears.

My dilapidated vehicle which drove me to destiny,
Is now repaired, though I still tend to drive blindly,
Still drive drunk,
Still have demons in my trunk,
Still, go on I must,
Constantly pursuing the hunt.  

Happiness is within my reach,
Every bump in the road was another lesson taught to me,
My self is not yet complete,
I have found my peace of mind,
I have weathered the storm,
But still have some pieces to find.
