Not knowing where tomorrow leads,
I step carefully into the future.

I am sure to watch precariously
as others swing by in a lingering way.
There's not much noise here,
in this realm of life.
It seems kind of dark,
kind of glum,
kind of oppressive.

Everyone looks the same-
pale and morose.
No scenery other then
those dirt paths to my right.

I'm not sure I like it here,
but to leave is a long moments away.

There's no one to talk to,
to ask for help.
I'm ignored, they act blind
or deaf towards me.

In the distance:
deranged sounds from afar

Screeching, painful sounds.

I cover my ears and watch
them tremble and scatter.
The sounds are getting closer,
the dirt is blowing and stinging me.

I have no protection...

A storm increasing the
suffering and agony of life.
When it leaves,
it leaves me lying facing
my escape to the normal world.
I am weak, no strength...
I am pale and morose,
like them.

Great writing, I really felt a deep sense of pain and frustration. Incredibly well written and immensely enjoyed.

A lot of suffering sounds
in this assimilation of thought,
and feeling...

Not every day can contain hugs,
but this day sure can!

There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

I like this one alot too! Very different, but in a good way. I love the 2nd stanza and how you said you were just like them in the end. Wow.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold
