Earthquakes Of Life

Earthquakes no longer feel so foreign to my body Vile feelings of pain have become the norm Whirlwind of blades feel numbing Tremors of isolation have overtaken me Numbness and isolation Earthquakes of emotions; I have stopped feeling The precipice of reality have become obscured Darkness protects me Isolation guides me Loneliness has become my friend Trust no one but myself Earthquakes of suicide has broken me Massacre of the childhood dreams; numb me My life I swore to live; have left me The pain of past realities; haunt me Tornados of the past life; uplift and hurl me Tsunami of depression; consume me Earthquake of despair; decimate me Staring at the empty void; contemplating life I wonder if this life is worth living The shallow grave of a worthless life The Angel intervenes; she restores my passion The flood of memories; long lost have returned Earthquake of hope; deafen me Standing at the edge of tomorrow Light has pierce the veil of protective shadows Hope has blessed me; memories of myself return The pale husk of depression and despair Begin to fade and life begins anew Earthquakes of love; shattered the pressure Earthquakes come with change Earthquakes shock the crippled mind Life changes; darkness fades; armor cracks The man with a thousand masks; lost them The person who lived in blackness; feels anew Earthquakes of emotions; no longer feel foreign
