For all the time spent trapped in a cage feeding the guilt Helpless to feel betrayed by my own thoughts, I fail. Amidst by human nature left in denial haunted by me reality I need to forget, erase the memory to be free of my- Inner Turmoil challenged by my constant fears My mind swims in agony of my own thoughts I chase a once faded light that reminds me of better days Precious times are only fragments left in my empty heart Torn and broken, I fail to mend.
