A cast-away soul in his solitary moment,
Floating into a never-ending circle of uncertainty
In denial of all things hitting him in the eye
Or could it be that he just can’t dare to face dire reality?
A deep-seated fear sets in rooted from the world’s cruelty.
Shielding himself from dark forces,
But wake-up calls are beyond his control
He wants to awaken from this abstract dream
Mysterious vibrations preventing him to even scream
Delusions overwhelming him in every heart beat.
A spectrum of enveloped ideas only his mind can conceive,
Out of this swirling darkness he awakened from being naïve
Bid adieu to his grueling nightmare
Awaiting for the dawning of a new day
To see the light welcoming him again.
