Dark Life


I’m trapped
trapped in this life
trapped by the choices and decisions I’ve made
resulting in this irreversible trap that binds me
constricting me to a given path
like a train bound to its tracks
I see my future before me
a path that chokes the joy from my life
trapped by my parentage
who bequeathed me my middleclass mediocrity
trapped by a spouse
who no longer loves me, but wouldn’t understand why
trapped by a Relationship
which really needs my love and presence, and requires me to remain alive
trapped by apathetic friends
who are fully absorbed in their own crises
trapped by an education
that excludes interesting career choices
trapped by jobs
that mandate acceptance, conformity, boredom
trapped by geography
restricting my ability to run far away
trapped by poverty
eliminating all choices entirely
I have no viable options
no pleasant foreseeable future
no realistic reason for foolish hope
nor pathetic undaunted optimism
I have nothing but the melancholy realization
that this is my shitty life
and unfortunately
it will last
forever

Am I in? Am I out?
Is it ok to be in?
Should I go out?

Where am I more free,
Out there or in here?
In my world, In my mind
I am always In but always out

I found my sanity
On the walk back home

The storm made me think
But I wasn't thinking of the good in my life
I was thinking of how rough life can be
And I didn't think about you.
About you and me

Walking back home
Thinking of you smiling face
Thinking of your delicate hug around my back
Thinking of how much I love your shelter from my storm
I found my sanity on the walk back home

Coming up from the suburbs of my mind
Joining me on the darker side
Everything must change now
Everything but what I use to be

My life will change in a moment
My future is coming up, down the barrel

It all begins with one falling star
Trees will dance in a light breeze
Colorful leaves will leave their home to make room for new ones
The nights will get cooler, and so will the days
The clouds will visit the skies every day to shelter from the sun
You will lose yourself in the romance of nature
It will be the most colorful time in life
And it will all begin with one falling star

In the time of the bad spirits
I find myself growing colder
I feel it in the tip of my roots
The goose bumps of cold times

Another day is over
Getting lost into the sea
The sun is coming down
Is going down on me

Lost in my world of thoughts
Of what is over and what is not
Waves crashing into my mind
Tomorrow I will get another shot
