Trapped.

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

Pure Life; Conditioned Into Darkness (1/2)

The Elders.

They grew from seeds far less fortunate than me That is what they told me as they ravaged communities filled with good intentions and possibilities Our lives were stalled by their terrible deeds

The teachings were passed down convincingly for the hurt tend to cause pain so easily Their hearts were lost fragments of shattered potential youth They evaporated into the blue and wrote this story I am telling you

Tradition taught vitally manifested into cycles, dangerously continuing a path of destruction onto the flowers, forever haunted We were doomed early on from ever blooming into the vibrant beauty we were designed to be

Yet, we dream at long last of breaking through the glass that holds us captive from a world we were barred from participating in We still have the fight within us despite the knives in our backs that communicate to us that we have no choice but to serve and respect the wrath of this lack of love that will inevitably turn us hard and cold We refuse to crumble into the ruins they perceive us to be

Our light still exists, somewhere, in hiding from all that tells us to become the evil that fills these halls of traumatic existence

We dream of perseverance

Blue Serenity

a poetry project written by Dan Roberts.

Blue Serenity.

I am balanced by the roots of circumstance A million dimensions travelled at light speed Various entities carry different sound and colour schemes They always find their way back to me

I am beauty, blooming as a perfect portrait of a life lived true and free Who I am now was always meant to be but it is not how it always has been and how I gained this beautiful stance will forever be a mystery unless I decide to unlock the vault of experience

To know me now is to understand me back then when my pages were full and my voice was silent when my beauty was present yet stained with deep resentment when my soul lit up with hope while my heart was cracked from violence

This is a story of how things were, how everything felt and all that became of me in the timeframe of that scene This is a story of how you can change your hues, embrace the life given to you and turn your blue into pure serenity

Let us travel from lost to free…
