What Lies Beneath

What Lies Beneath

A Poem by Color of the Iris

What Lies Beneath ~

 

Where in the world does your fear exist?

Have you figured how to look deeper inside?

At least you know what lies in you deepest

The tormenting beast in you is not hard to find

 

Longing to grasp the last of your sanity

Immortal pain coursing through your veins

Every pulse is a second quicker calamity

So hold on, love, for you’ve dropped your reins

 

Beginning at the end and hoping for a new start

Every night becoming a new day before you can sleep

Never happy, always feeling like you’re falling apart

Everything trying to pull you from your sweet sanity

All is well until they pull you to your knees

Trying to call out to someone up in that perfect sky

Hoping you can find what lies beneath

The mysteries behind who we are as individuals never seem to have light shone on them. At least in my experiences, the more questions you ask, the less answers you get.

This is deeply sad and the use of rhymes and words was clever and very realistic. This is a poem I can relate to and I can assure you one thing: you write beautifully. I completely enjoyed this. Thank you for the request.

Beginning at the end and hoping for a new start

Every night becoming a new day before you can sleep

Never happy, always feeling like you’re falling apart.
