MEMORIES

My mind is a maze of spectacular proportions
Forever searching for lost dreams, hopes and separating the difference
Between the unknown and fear
Reaching the outskirts of what I once thought was home
But became my nightmare
Living in a dream-like state of abnormality and dysfunctionality
A rude awakening to something so obscure, something so unkind and cruel
Like the clutched clawed fingers 
Of a dying man
Grabbing at nothing 
But pain
Sharing nothing but tainted memories
A make-believe world of wasted time
Reveling misery of disillusionment
Silent screams
And ignorant ranting

When will peace finally be found?
That endless longing of a quiet mind
The voices of disappointment finally quiet
The mad laughter of mockery finally gone
The sneering faces turned away in shame
The bleeding heart finally mended
The soul finally rested…
