Analysis of Silently Alone...
I cant seem to stop the dreams at night,
nor the thoughts during the day,
its like waves crashing in a dark cave.
Blue skies holding dark clouds,
as emptiness fills a religious shroud.
Telling myself none of its about me,
only God knows what Ive gone through,
that none will see.
I write unspoken words from a dream,
as I grew it became what it seemed.
Mislead in life,
now I face its strife.
Silently alone,
in my minds home...
