Blue Serenity

Blue Serenity

Pure Life, Interrupted.

Idle minds dreaming of highs found in times of past, longing for sunshine underneath future’s bright breath Effervescent wishes not yet born into light with insistent desperation calling into the night Broken children craving lands they have not seen, residing in the sewers of lost hopeful dreams Incessant demands of what life should mean, as functionality becomes frozen from harmful misdeeds of those who claim ownership of their souls

They sit still in waiting for a timely escape from the hell they know too well haunting them every day

They sit still, patiently hoping to one day be met with the visual of what life looks like outside the blackened windows that keep them where they are

Cast Away.

They are searching for me because I continue to breathe as I am Now, they are hunting me They want my blood on their fingertips I am a runaway easily found within plain view because the reasons I was cast away were for expressing my many beautiful hues

They withdrew me from my outer space and held me captive for a hundred days The grand opportunity to create a life for myself holds no meaning within a deceitful world that delivers me nothing but continuous harm

What did I do? I always mind my own business yet find myself locked within these spaces where I am punished for authenticity

What did I do? Who did I anger? Why is it that I must suffer?

Whenever I start doing what is best for me, I find targets latched into my back, reminding me how conformity will be chasing me forever

It is a miserable fact I resent everyday

Flower.

I am a delicate flower that blooms in bright colours and wilts as the time goes by because nothing lasts forever and despite all my potential beauty, I always rest in dark by the night

I cannot seem to handle real life and tend to do anything to simulate being alive because I am a man inside his feelings not aware of the way he should be living, rolling with the punches day by day

I never speak to others for it is all too hard I long to share my interests and dreams so they can see the cool sides of me but all that I do is fail because I get tongue-tied and quiet I really want to be the man I know that I can be instead of the actor crying in between the scenes

When I do not thrive in the natural ways, I water myself differently

I get high and I drink Frankly, I will do anything to avoid thinking Perhaps this is the way I have always been though I wish that was not true at all

But despite the darkness I know to be alive and true, I understand that I want to change for I do not want to be the same as the boy I was just yesterday What can I do to make it all go away?

Today, I pray that one day this will never be the same I am going to let it all pour away and hope to see paradise after the rain

Blue Serenity: Phase 1 Hollow Nights Under Starry Skies #2

Hollow Nights Under Starry Skies (1/2)

Trapped.

Welcome to the land of opportunity It sure is a sad tale to tell; the endless stories of how we all fell Let down by the forces who reined in superiority, we perished beneath the flames, locked away for simply breathing as the beings we were always meant to be

We are locked down for ages with all our pretty faces barricaded in dimmed corridors of expectations, harming our non-existent foundations We are left defenseless under this chaotic order where nobody asked to stand upon the precipice of the only life we have ever known to be true

We are trapped in a globe that once shined with youth but has grown old and corrupted too Is there anywhere else that we can be? Siblings sold their souls and destroyed their inner truth If it has not yet, it will happen to you soon

Pure bright energy locked in a black hole for eternity

We are all trapped for what feels like forever
