An Abyss of Forgotten Dreams

Decaying in predictable routines
an abyss of forgotten dreams
the stench of familiarity
monotonous tasks cloud the clarity

Despising your chosen role
follow the expected, sold your soul
the fear of loosing controls each day
once your dependence was taken away

Controlled by the need to satisfy
the desire to please bleeds you dry
to fit into the empty mould
lifeless addictions have made you cold

Empty cares for responsibilities
weakened by perfect vanities
searching the void for a meaning
excavate your heart to find a feeling

Escapism dictates fantasies
delightful taboos feed insanities
controlling expected disappointments
drowning lies in the ointments

Tick tock on the façade
misleading gestures create a charade
faint whispers of a forgotten desire
threaten to extinguish the last of your fire

Paths navigated by your fear
questioning if you belong here
in the world that makes you want to hide
and a life that kills you from the inside
