Unattainable

Unattainable

Clutching tightly;

I am barely living,

A prisoner of life...

Life?

Wandering aimlessly;

I am barely living,

A hallucination of dreams...

Dreams?

Believing blindly;

I am barely living,

A wilting flower amidst hope...

Hope?

Wishing unfaithfully;

I am barely living,

A phantom of what used to be a reality...

Reality?

Gazing coldly;

I am barely living,

A fragmented ghost of a soul once whole...

Whole?

Breathing endlessly;

I am barely living,

A body suffering in silence for a sweet release...

Release?

Life...

Has taken custody of me;

Dreams...

Has shackled my freedom;

Hope...

Has deceived me into despair;

Reality...

Has hid away the worth of me;

Whole...

Has no part within me;

Release...

Holds the power over me,

Wishing... Longing... Begging...

For an unattainable release.
