Its dangerous to venture in the dark
But my mind has almost never seen the light,
I defy the norms and bend the rules
I let my thoughts wander awry.
I enter places, open doors that must stay shut
Get lost in the cobweb of my subconscious,
Chaos surround, a noise I can't be rid of,
Immediately regret the becoming of my decisions.
Often I am running naked
So conscious of my being and a bare body,
Sometimes I find my teeth on my palm
Or my mother singing a strange melody.
My dreams are incarnations of my thoughts
My fears manifest when I can't run,
I try to scream but smothered by my own self,
I sometimes drown myself or look for a gun.
Sometimes i find myself escaping beside a beach
Absorbing the lucidness of a clear blue sky,
The setting sun embracing me with warmth
The cool of the sea washing away my sins and spite.
I run a lot, sometimes away from something,
The wind against my ears, my hair fly wild,
Sometimes I hear gunshots amidst chaos
I'm protecting my little brother, still a child.
My mind is a maze I try to decipher
A language untranslated, maybe misunderstood,
From what I gather, I face my fears in the dark
But never succumb to the dread of the woods.
I might be scared inside, but also a fighter,
I wake up and these thoughts I collect,
A glass of water, I'm ready for another fight,
Its me after all, I'll keep fighting till the end of ever and protect.
