I AM NOT
By Lee
In the stillness of the night
darkness enfolds me
peace eludes me
a silent tear… caressing my tired face
Memories of long gone
tormenting me with time wasted
while the echo’s of my soul
forcing me into wakefulness
Where has my spirit gone…
while I head for the loneliness of a person
lost in the wake of a sunset’s farewell
The wind repeating my cries…
carrying over mountains and earth
The sun scorching my laughter
Hiding underneath the rocks
I am not…
For dreams are diluting my consciousness
And reality - is fear within me awaken!
I am not…
For life has lost its passion
And death has become my only consolation
Even thought I teach my mind the power of love and acceptance
I am not…
For love and acceptance cannot be taught
As I look up into the restless empty night
a soul in mourning
Memories crippling the essence of my being
Life’s choices and hurt – That is the screen of my projections
And all I can see is the darkness of my soul
People have come and gone –
Yet love has somehow befallen pray to my misconceptions
I lay awake – dreaming of another
Yet my heart is closed and isolated
Conditions, Conditions, Conditions
To be altered and formed
To be reconstructed and bought
Conditions… Societies mad refrain!
The bitterness of my existence…
Only visible in my writing
Only acknowledge in my pen
Only honest in the silence of the night
I am not!
