Words and Lights

Why is it now that words fail?

That the voices are cast aside from this world

Leaving only a trace of life

Across a plain of madness

It is with uplifting words that I can find peace?

Using them as weapon and shield

I can prosper for a short period

Before being dragged unwilling into the void

I used to dream

Beautiful dreams in the nights

Only a shred of them remain 

I can’t keep my eyes closed anymore

The light that was guiding me was false

I was tricked by the golden strands

I fear I may have followed them too far

That I'm shackled to their deceit

However, I'm not doomed yet

For in the distance there are more lights

Along with new words and voices

All to be seen and heard
