From Heart's Assault

I watched "Awake" the movie, & came away depressed but started writing about (as usual) how uninspired I've been, The 2nd just started as a description of the first.

FROM HEART'S ASSAULT

I want to create beauty
But i cannot see it anymore
It shines through me
Not off me as it once did
Is a mirror inspired?
How can it reflect anything in darkness
But darkness
I can feel the tarnish in my skin
A barnacle of ache so ingrained
That the words heart and soul leave only bitterness
And in writings' usual catharsis
Even that relief is restrained
Until I breathe cool air
And hear the strumming of an old guitar
As music saves,
Even as with apathy's contrast
Creates the cure

ORIGINALLY ONLY A DESCRIPTION

I lived in my own mind,
My own hypocrisy of betrayed Philosophy,
Viewing "Awake" and seeing the flaws of hyperbole epitomized portrayals,
Extolled while taking to heart a message of doomed life;
A blessing ignored for its mere circumstance
Whilst I still now typing cannot refill the cup of void
Miracle's perception an appreciation
In the end the cycle itself shall be the cure;
Not Lion King, nor Emo's dream,
But specifically the nature of emotions.
