Ashes in Tempest

Life lies in chaos

Failure is my temptress

Debris of my dreams smolder

Ashes in tempest

Golden Dragon

Death has taken all my loved ones

My soul saddened

And my heart is broken

As I flee this golden dragon

Feeling lonely

Trapped within my own emotional cabin

I’m the last one left

Just myself and the golden dragon

Pool of violence

Neighbor hurts neighbor

Society is out of balance

Compassion is in the past

We’re swimming in a pool of violence

People don’t care for each other

Just listen to their comments

Destruction not encouragement

In this pool of violence

People push away not pulling near

Desiring their own voice and your silence

Acting like they only matter

This world is a pool of violence

How quickly people hurt each other

Like strikes of lightning

Damaging others to build themselves up

Drowning in their pool of violence

Absolutely

This is a cruel world

Many gossip about me

Some look down upon my soul

Absolutely

Others laugh at what I am

Point at my less than perfect body

I’m not perfect

Absolutely

Some don’t want me to be happy

They rather control me

I’m not what they wish me to be

Absolutely

Death is another path

Life consists of many trails

Occasionally taking you down to the strath

Leading you to the afterlife

Death is another path

Life will take you down many roads

Even scathe

Open walkway to my end

Death is just another path

Life is a course with many destinations

Chaotic like a psychopath

No way to reach immortality

Death is winding path

Life has no set direction

Ending up with just my wrath

As we enter into our tomb

Death is every man’s path

Noose around my neck

Suffocating

Standing upon this gallows deck

Agonizing

With this noose around my neck

Gasping

Preparing for my life’s final trek

Harsh

With a noose around my neck

Smothering

An emotional wreck

Uncomfortable

As they tighten the noose around my neck

Choking

Overpowering effect

Painful

Losing my life with a noose around my neck

Sympathy

Emotionally injured

Asking timidly

Longing for kindness

Need sympathy

Emotionally battered

Failing life miserably

Wishing for tenderness

Needing sympathy

Emotionally hurt

Been treated viciously

Craving some compassion

Needing some sympathy

Emotionally bruised

Broken literally

Desiring sensitivity

Needing some of your sympathy

Demons resurrect

My issues have awaken

They were neglected

Threatened much suffering

My demons have resurrected

My obstacles have bounced back

I’m no longer protected

Menacing me with misery

My demons have resurrected

My doubts have been rekindled

No good can be expected

Terrorizing me with mental pains

My demons have resurrected

My troubles have been revived

Dangerously affected

Oppressed with anguish

My demons have resurrected

My problems have been rejuvenated

A life wrecked

Haunted with emotional aches

My demons have resurrected

Helpless

Feeling dangerously weak

Restless

Sadly withering away

Helpless

I’m perilously vulnerable

No awareness

Fading away dejectedly

Helpless

Desperately unprotected

Hopeless

Going away tragically

Helpless

Disappearing dreams

My imagination

Has become screams

That went away

Disappearing dreams

My ideas

Have become schemes

That have departed

Disappearing dreams

My illusions

Have become extreme

That have hightailed it

Disappearing dreams

My fantasies

Have loosened my mind’s seams

That have left

Disappearing dreams
