I watch the people walk along
Alone
Alone
Kindred, more with the dark that follows
Hiding
Gone
From a vibrant world that feels so wrong
Private
Lonesome
Long to consume, which I can’t swallow.
To the shadow, back I slither
Reaching for that which burns my skin
Here inside the dark I wither
With my own folly once again.
Where oblivion calls me back to rest
In somber sleep, my dreams protest.
In shackles of my own design,
I lose the key and stay confined.
Somewhere far beyond this cage
The darkness holding me shall fade
Distant dreams
Finally free
Someday soon?
No longer blue.

Such brilliant flow from start to end, even if was dark the was light at the end.
In shackles of my own design,
I lose the key and stay confined.
That's a keeper
Much peace and respect!
Thank you! I really wanted to make this one good after my last couple were a bit lack-luster.
