like a fish
swimming in a glass bowl
i feel eyes upon me
as i bare by soul
as my tears fall
slowly to the ground
i hear their whispers
thinking i dont hear a sound
i see their faces
in the dark of night
like gods of past
filling me with fright
like giants
from the sea
they sit and watch
waiting patiently
for what
i don't know
their shadows
only grow
as the darkness
grows to light
they too
take flight
what do they want
why always near
must i always
live in fear
so big, so strong
like gods of past
how long
must these visions last
the whispers
in the night
the cries
that are not right
the bodies
hidden below
things that
others dont show
dreams of times
that i was filled with pain
once forgotten
now memories that would drive one insane
dreams of what
will become
to warn me
to stay away from one
to choose
darkness over light
wrong over right
maybe these giants
are gods from the past
to keep goodness in
so gods word will forever last

I'm not 100% certain how to interpret this, but I get a feeling of dread, of fear, yet an ending of hope, of purpose?

Thought provoking read.

Sometimes things unknown can torment our minds...
And sometimes, things known torment our minds.....
I know and understand this.
Hugs,
