Throughout life,
There's a cycle.
Thoughts and emotions
Are recycled.
We sit idle;
We believe in life
Like one would be naïve enough
To believe in a Bible,
But we have no idols
To cling onto.
We only have
Our own vitals
And the titles
We give each other
To pretend we have something
Worth living for
Or else we become
Suicidal.
In the infinite stream
Of diluted dreams
That cross my mind,
I hope one day,
I can scream and feel something
Through this empty fortress
Someone heartless
Seemed to have built.
Throughout my life,
There looks to be a theme.
I push away everything
To the extremes
Only to wish to have
Morphine injected
Into my bloodstream.
Maybe for once I can
Deem myself numb enough
To sign with my own blood
The streamline of thoughts
That are confined within
The design of my being.
Maybe I shouldn't decline
The belief of the divine
When comes around the deadline
Of my own lifeline.
Throughout the cycles of life,
Friends are being recycled.
They sit idle
Like strangers watching a crime
Happen in front of their own eyes.
They stay quiet while
I punch through my vitals.
Maybe someday,
When they find me wide open,
They can see
All that I have hope in.
Maybe a word
Will be spoken
About the fate
Of the broken.
Even when
The effects are rippling,
The only thing I can be
Is forgiving.
Maybe in some ways,
It feels different.
Maybe the intentions
Are ignorant
Or maybe my presence
Is only so insignificant
For everyone to seem
So indifferent.
In the cycles
That turn the world round,
Endings and beginnings
Are being recycled.
I sit idle;
Waiting for them
To appoint me
Towards something that
Can make me feel
Like I am vital.
Unfortunately, I am no better.
All of my wounds,
And the ones I have given,
I am bound to a life
Which can only lead me
Underground.
Crowned as misfortune,
There's very few that have found
A way to reach me.
The compounds within my brain
Create a battleground
As I listen to the sounds
Of birds chirping all around.
Drowned in an array of emotions,
Unable to stop myself
From going round
As would the cycles
Within life.
Feelings are hurt
And furthermore recycled.
I sit idle,
Losing touch
With the reality of the tremors
That guide me.
Back then,
My soul would already
Have roamed free.
But, I am not at sea
Waiting for an anchor
To pull me back
To where I should be.
Although, perhaps the end
Of who I was then
Has come again
To haunt the lands
Which rest between my hands.
But, the wave is now tidal.
Like a disciple
All I need to do
Is sit idle
And wait for a sign
That will be vital
Which will help me
Break the cycle.
Realistically,
Life goes on
And like a cycle
It can't be broken.
You can't open
Or find hope in
A new beginning
When you don't believe
A disaster
Can create a change.
A love once an ideal
Which now seems unreal;
If only strong enough
To make a wave tidal;
To make someone suicidal;
To make one feel vital,
But never enough
To break the cycle.
