The shadow of face turns next
Traffic of thoughts complex
Slicing from beneath the skin
Lying unfolded bare and thin

Sunk in the solitude overdose
Two steps to the lost ghost
Chained on the outer surface
A stone residing cold and nervous

Swallowed vain trust in sips
Words won’t break out of closed lips
Blind cries and breath despise
Shots franticly shuffling behind dead eyes

The irony of such a red ambition
Screaming at a deaf scenario that won’t listen
A thousand pieces of self in random streams
It’s a valid dream of no themes

The pendulum of persistence
Fell in aggressive existence
In wounds down so slow
The naked tension is left to grow

Such a repulsive mirror of no reflection
So what of expectation
It’s a voice of haunting disillusion
But of who’s confusion
The closed mouth that begs to be fed
Or the typhoon that’s chanting in the head

Truely moving. The flow is great. I'm saving this. There is so much I like about this piece. I liked how you described ambition as red.
"Sunk in the solitude overdose"
All your lines were wonderfully crafted.
amazing job.
