I lost something dear to me, something irreplaceable it seems

A smile, the object of my grief

Contrary to my belief, it's something that I actually need

lost within time, thin becomes the air

I try to breathe to help set my mind at ease

But the sequence that I need sits beyond reach

Fragmented my mind is as my emotions mimic its appearances

I fade to black, hopefully never to be seen again

Hidden behind false walls, hallow and empty

Pain proclaimed, but upon deaf ears are where my cries are retained.

Unchanged and unprepared for rain.

The image taken I refrain, to strengthen its boarders since what's imagined, I'll reframe the deeper view that is seen through my windowpane.

Absurd, my definition has now been changed by the lies maintained to sustain the tears that stain the pages that hold the secrets of my brain.

My mental state can't be explained, but the cuts that I've procured over the years go against the grain, so each new scar formed is never the same.

My light is contained where the darkness reigns.

Visuals can not obtain a location of my whereabouts, so I lose myself in vain to try again and again to re-emerge in a birth of flames seen from all visible planes.

I've scoured all terrains and domains, but the little engine that could couldn't train this soul to regain its composure to push through the mundane.

The constant strains that I attain day in and day out my campaign speaks but is not understood in vein.

To keep up with my own sanity and come out still in sane or to prevent being slain, I'll switch gears to be driven within my own lane.

Taken in attempt

To reconcile with the effects

Of what a decision made has left

The presence of fear and doubt suffocate the mind

Which takes its toll on the lungs

High strung in a chord with tension

Breaks occur until *Snap*

A disconnect

To try to reconnect

As promised here is the completed piece of Hidden in plain sight. You can read along with me or listen to it as I read it out for you, either way ENJOY!!

Written in between

the seams silently are the

words stitched together.

A material

is crafted to help conceal

Or made to protect.

The innocence of

A voice that has forgotten

How to truly speak.

So it stands idle

Quietly kept behind walls

Which imprisons it.

Yearning to be heard

From within it looks for strength

One word at a time.

Louder and louder

The sounds of freedom consumes

As it resonates.

Written words become

Spoken phrases now for all

To hear and to feel.

A voice has returned

Powerful and confident

Over stepped limits.

Had lead to break throughs

Milestones to remember

Where one has come from.

Written transparency

When emotions come to the light

Encoded and hidden from sight

Eclipsed by the darkness when it rains

Cracks within an image are there

but none are visible to the naked eye

Unless seen at a angle

Even times at a distance

One's truth can never be fully understood

2/28/22

Above the night sky

Past the sun

Wings to resistant to burn

With eyes forward

I'll fly toward

My next destination

Refusing to look back

At a fragmented past

Fingers cut from trying to piece back together

The many outer layers that once surrounded a unstable core

Broken and diminished

Unreplenished

I was driven to fly away

With my flame close to extinished

I walked blindly

In a weakened state

Sadly

I had no choice

Turned on by most

A smile I wore to cloak

To disguise

What really lies inside

Pain

An endless rain

That has caused many walls to break

Due to the pressures I could no longer take

Many times had I fallen

Calling but not responded to

Lost and never found

Screamed but yet not a sound was heard

Until......

One last morning when this life was over

I decided

It was time

I decided

To end this line

I decided....

I'll fly away

Fly away version 2

I'll fly away

On Counted breaths

I'll fly away

Restless and anxious

Weightless

I'll fly away

Before I do I'll say this

I'll fly away

But ill be back to guide YOU on your journey, with you.....

I'll fly away

Fly away version 1

The sounds of laughter

Cannon balls Launching aimlessly at unsuspecting targets

From any area of the pool can you hear the

Squeals of enjoyment along the pool's side

Carefully feet run alongside it

Unaware of hazards that might follow after unintentional actions

SPLASH!

SPLASH!

one after another

SPLASH!

SPLASH!

another body enters the water

Graceful and beautiful

The way you capture the eye

Of a dreamer

A non believer

One who's attention to detail lacks

Perhaps a redirection

May result in an adjustment of focus

A Inspiration to a prisoner

Locked behind invisible walls that surrounds

A freedom chaser

Tamed by society

Labeled differently for wanting to live within their own reality

Instead of one forcefully imposed by those who just don't understand
