there was a boy i knew
confused and complicated
yet sorted and straight
scarily confident
and confidently scared
the world was his
and he was of the world
together and alone
all at once
a while ago i found him
lost in his thoughts
attentively oblivious
humming silence
perhaps, torn apart
by the reality of the world
stitched together
by the very few on top
i can’t find him anymore
he might be openly hidden
or feathered underneath
ironclad burden called life
living a truthful lie
silent wind, howling mind
peaceful night, restless beat
empty roads, loaded thoughts
surrounded by world, still alone
come, see through my eyes
a destiny ahead
for my nightmares are real
and road, long
come, see through my soul
a painful heart
for my loss is real
and joy, foregone
come, see through my life
a hopeful man
for my dreams are big
and will, strong

how do you begin something new
from the ashes of hope and love
the embers of sadness staring
glimpses of hurt ripe, piercing
another year of dread passed
fearful surprises lay ahead
just flicker of hope through doubt
or strength to put misery to bed
a constant struggle
to keep at bay, the thoughts
of your existence
stubborn, they are
for they keep flooding back
to drown me in tears
a cold stare into the past
and tears run down the cheeks
was i the one responsible
or is this what they call nostalgia
sometimes my dreams
and reality
are so blended well
all i want
is to sleep within fantasy
and awoken from actuality
