Fling arms skywards,
Embrace biting cold, beating rain.
Is this 'peace'..?
Trudge to school, cars beady
Headlights,
Don't give me a second glance-
All absorbed in the bitter race, all
Seeking fulfilment.

Sometimes,
Breathing is a chore,
Conversing a struggle,
People try to draw veils over hateful laughter,
But their eyes are daggers.

Sometimes,
The prospect of independence
Pushes me in a dark pit- no floor
Tearing my soul on unseen knife ridges,
Eyes desperate on twinkling light, flickering above, it's
Fading.
(don't go...)

Sometimes,
Drown mind in music
Where colours shift into mirror reality.
But reality is the cold prism
Separating the spectrum of lyrics
Into a black and white rainbow.

In this fleeting moment of self- indulgence
I know my search for 'peace'
Created those skidmarks over my spirit
Trust is non-existent- sentimentality firmly
Ruled Out....
By the screech of tyres running, obliviously
Over my faded shadow.


"Controlling my feelings for too long....
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold...
And pushing us into self-destruction...."

Excellent descriptive piece Lani_DarkOne! It has a unique flow that reads very well, nicely penned!  

Best wishes,

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

your words paint a vivid, descriptive picture. the part about falling and tearing your soul on unseen knife edges... well penned!
how about "For Peace, wherever it may be found" for a title?
great stuff, as usual. keep it up.

Everyone's got their demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.
