I scream, into the Void, out to the Nothing that is me
Taking in the empty nightmares only I can see
Searching but never finding the key to my True Self,
abused and discarded among the ruins of Life's Shelf
This is where I hide unknown to all within Time
My soul cries out, faint as a distant wind chime,
trying to warn me but deaf ears listen close
Misunderstood are these cries, even forgotten...almost
I know my Fear is Truth; this I keep from the World, call it a secret,
for the World holds Truth inside but being kept quiet is His regret
This Truth is of my True Self that I search for but never find
(never want to find) because It will destroy the Peace in my mind
The Peace is created by the Fantasy Me that I taught myself to know
Now the need to see Reality is forcing the True Me to show
Scared, confused, unsure: a choice must be made without knowing,
as my two opposing sides fight, while Confusion is growing
Why does a time like this arise when all is fine?
Familiar roads change without a warning sign,
the need to escape grows stronger,
and the distance to the End becomes longer
Chaos is now the home for my abused Soul
Continuing to deny the call of the Six Foot Hole
Stuck on this road leading...
...Somewhere?
Dreaming of my space I call Nowhere,
the Void, where I scream, this is my End, also my Start,
the core of this Emptiness lies inside my heart
