Dreaming Of Tears

Weary-eyed
Weakened to the very core
Traumatized
I can't endure this anymore

I'm going to black out
And be transported to a realm
Where my screams don't make a sound
Hate keeps me bound while I leave my fears to drown

-
I loath the days without rest
I despise the nights of endless stress

Though I can't settle for anything less
Because lower than this is death

It's like living and sleeping within tortuous realities
Even though I'm unconscious- there is no such thing as rest for me

No one knows how powerful my dreams can be
No one knows all of the graphic images I've seen

Dive into the ocean! / Swim through the thorns!
Let your pain open! / Allow your skin to mourn!


The memories start to fill
Then time stands still

A level of this kind of guilt
Is more than enough to kill

I don't know whats worse- my dreams
Or all of the secrets that I keep

It's hard to believe
This is what I call 'sleep'

-
In these impure waters
I bathe in the pools
Those of a coward
Who is nothing more than a fool

Need to let it all flow
Don't let the tears stop
Need to let it all go
Until this whole world floods
As I sleep-
My pain dreams

Of a world
That suffers evermore

Dreaming Of Rage
Dreaming Of Rage

I don't want to give into the maddening thoughts
I don't want to become what I am not

My clenched hands start to bleed
Because I despise falling asleep

Knuckles harden as I delve into unconsciousness
My bad blood boils away the sense of innocence
-
Inner wars are fought / faces yearn to be tarnished
All of my battles are lost / I put every bad memory into my fists

I don't want to know my true self / different sides of the same coin
My reflection is altered by the pain I felt / we both will reach the breaking point
-
The forgotten fury yells to be freed
The hidden hatred screams to be unleashed

The rioting rage

Nice job. This is very well written, and the wording adds to the emotion pouring out.

I can actually connect to this. Every day, something gets screwed up, and all I can really do is sit and wonder why, moreover how, life came crashing down through the ceiling. I ended up reading this piece aloud, just to hear how it really was supposed to be read.

"Until the whole world floods." Words that can describe sorrow, but also joy. Just as tears of misery affect how we live, happiness can do the same. I congratulate you on a great work that will reside in my mind for the longest time.
