Warped

I’m confused
Spinning in place
Stuck in transition.
Logic fails me
What I know is moot
What escapes me is gold.
Time is slipping
Unnecessary actions delay
Unwelcome distractions aggravate.
~Helplessness~
Empathy was once a staple
Foreign to the world
Yet rolls off my tongue like honey.
The burning passion that raised my head
Lies at my deflated spirit
Flaring with every choked sob
Almost daring me to try one more time.
~Fear~
Forgiveness is an arms reach away
Yet scabbed-over wounds hold me back.
Ice has surrounded my heart
I’m no longer the man I once was.
I’m scarred with many attempts and failures
Fearful of what is to come
Paranoid of what is already here.
~Walls~
The path to clarity
Is jagged with dark thoughts
Twisted in chaos
Littered with broken promises.
The journey to completion
Isn’t meant for one broken soul.
Those that have pierced the shell
And delivered new hope will point the way
Lifting as they climb.
~Pride~
Nothing else matters
As long as I make it to the end
~Acceptance~
