Loss of Desire
Blocked from the sun
Held back in the shadows, in pain.
Stifling…
Wishing only to see light
To smell the clean cool air of fantasy-
But being locked tragically in reality
No longer waking with the lingering joy of dreams
Bright scenes of a better existence-
Their absent.
Replaced with different versions of the same truth
Not brighter or darker
Just different shades of the same
Was happiness a memory or an illusion
A want….a desperate desire
Manifesting into a living dream
Then turning to the darkest of nightmares.
Haunting an already tortured existence.
Is it the defeat of ones aspirations?
Or merely the acceptance of true reality.
