World stands still
   as i hurdle endless obstacles
The strength to stand
     but never so fallen
as the wind rushes across my skin
wrapping all sound to a dull whistle
  to the silence in my heart
Head hasn't stopped rushing for days
leaving me torn in a rift     standing
  on a piece of thought in a river of confusion
Hope and faith in love are my paddles
  with a smile on my face hiding the pain
         as always
blundering blindly
    walking away from everything i've become
outstretched for myself
  to keep from sliding through the cracks
to prevent   becoming lost in all the faces

Life is a torment and torment an enigma. So burn the shackles of slavery and let love run free
-partially from " Slave of Love" by: Me.

wow...this is really amazing.
