The eyelids droop
Sleep it calls
The landscape changes
The mind, it falls
Colours blend
Into black and grey
Sanity
Then slips
Ends my day
Some people
Sort through memories made
Recall lost loved ones
Their promises
Before they fade
For little ones
Its unicorns
The power to fly
Secret missions
To far off skies
But for me!
Its fear, horror toil
No where is safe here
Nothing friendly
Nor loyal
Shapes I see
They play tricks
Deform!
Transform!
Their speed?
So quick.
The heart softens its beat
You think your safe
Breathing slows
To its rested pace
But then
You realise
Hope drips away
Your lost!
Alone!
In this wretched place
Its demons with g
I'm held at a line.
The heart groans and wines.
Silence it deafens.
Then it unbinds.
Forced to continue.
Dragged through scorn and murk.
The crowd builds from silence.
With taunts full of smirk.
But still I stand proudly.
Take my stance at the blocks.
Not willing to yield.
Nor be one of the flock.
I'll wait here forever.
My chin held high.
You can grind forever.
You'll never make me sigh.
For me times a healer.
Now I've learnt how to sing.
But for you it's weapon.
I'm immune to its sting.
I'll stand here forever.
Tall and as proud.
For me there's no shame.
No mistrust to be found.
I'm as open as scrabble.
With no points to be scored.
