tragedy of existence(mid night poetry part 2)

drowning out the world

Drowning Out The World

I find myself in the sounds-

I release my secrets in the lyrics

Inner peace is found-

The melodies calm my spirit

But when silence falls

The walls in my head break down

I'm consumed by stinging thoughts

And every regret cries out

Reality and time stop

The serenity within – goes silent

And then my mind floods

My past memories become violent

-

I get this sensation-

That I'm just too damaged

A truthful realization-

There's nothing left of me to salvage

Music is just a distraction-

To blind myself from the carnage

I remain lost in the destruction-

Where darkness has the advantage

-

The remnants of rhyme hinder-

The memories and I resist to coexist

As I let the essence of fear become louder-

I can't defy this quiet pestilence

I don't want to be a part of the silence

But it keeps pulling me back

It's erasing the meanings of every promise

The voids of importance leave me feeling trapped

Now I'm alone in this

I only have myself to blame

The nothingness flows through my veins

I couldn't drown out the world around me
