Shades of Pain
by Michael
Cast aside like a memory, living in shades of pain -
Endlessy it seems I wander, have I been forgotten?
Where has my path taken me - Will I find my way home?
Memories haunt my every waking moment, I close my eyes and wish in vain for a moment's silence -
Any reprieve from this hellish torment would be welcome, but I know better.
Shame, and the bitter taste of true guilt linger on my tongue - And I can still hear the laughter of my unseen judges echoing in the distance
And now the truth hits me, nearly takes my breath away -
All this, I despise and fear -
Everything here, dark and terrifying, is of my own design -
I gave this place life, in my thoughts and deeds -
Christ, I never even saw it coming -
Guess I never really looked...
