In a state of limbo

I have ridden out the storm,
Hidden from the maelstrom,
Bidden my time,
And sailed the seas back to where I came from.

To some extent,
My mind is healed,
Mistaken I was,
When I thought my fate was sealed,
I overlooked that thing called hope,
When all of that time I was a deluded dope.
Now I have thrown away the rope,
Destroyed the gallows,
But while I have changed,
The seas remain shallow.

I will never be the person I was,
Before my walls came crashing down,
I have some room to gloat because,
I discovered I don’t have to be the clown,
I can choose my role,
On the worlds stage,
And despite that epiphany,
The horror remains,
Of steering clear,
Of hiding my fear,
Of loosing my mind,
Loosing that which I hold dear,
Precious as gold,
It is something I must hold,
For all our time is fleeting,
And I am still growing old.

It is never to late to change,
Something I knew,
But now I finally learned it,
And have let it stew,
I have discovered where,
To find my peace of mind,
So it is time for me to leave,
It is time for me drive,
Towards the destiny I once lacked,
When I finally cracked,
All it took was a heavy slap,
To awake me from my dream,
And finally I have realized,
The whole experience was a nap.

I love it
My favorite part was
“I will never be the person I was,
before my walls came crashing down”
Actually I like the whole part that came from

this was a very cool write. i love the way it ended up being all a dream... i also liked the rhyme scheme you used, well executed. Good Write, look forward to another

Life is a torment and torment an enigma. So burn the shackles of slavery and let love run free
