Sometimes in life the most beautiful and brilliant of minds becomes tortured and tormented by the demons of mental illness and personality disorders. Some victims never know a moments peace their entire life, and for some they view death as their only escape from the madness and pain.
I would like to dedicate this to someone very very special in my life...Someone I love more than life itself.
A TORTURED MIND
A lost cause that never finds;
troubled dreams and faded lines.
Forever drowning and cursed to be,
losing touch and touch to see.
Tortured mind and hungered soul;
loss of love; burnt out coal.
Tears of acid running dry,
reality fading as I cry.
Hollow screams echo here;
smell of never-ending fear.
Smile of chaos; burning blood;
lies of misery; sound of mud.
False hope and blinding pain;
courage hiding and bravery drained.
Sighs of passion thirsting for life;
blurry visions, an unending strife.
Imprisoned happiness locked up tight;
lost the key, end of sight.
Whispering voices; a trembling sound;
fading faces that cannot be found.
Decieving friends, family of solitude;
fake smiles and false gratitude.
Lingering worry and deafeaning silence;
forgotten hurt; scars of violence.
Thoughts of madness, feelings of war;
captured imagination becoming sore.
Moving images, captivating danger;
alluring time; reflecting a stranger.
Cruel sincerity, a broken sign;
blaming judgement, wisdom of mine.
Sightless scars; devastating disasters;
unconscious loyalty; confiding masters.
Ignored death, unheard scream;
finite forever, listless dream.
Apathetic wishes, selfish lies;
A selfless prayer with no reply.
