Echoes Of Time by SIMOYERA: 8:09am On Feb 23, 2023 |
I pray I make it back to my origin with my mental health My guts Broken and shattered like the mirror My eye balls have run dry making these tear drops I have become a fugitive in my home and an outlaw in thine eyes Stuck in this sand of time as I loose track of reality Lost my hopes, begging for a penance at whatever cost I have become watchful as suicide hovers above my thoughts. For something I know totally nothing about I innocently carried the cross Silent while my heart is sore and shredded into pieces It seems being the good guy has become a taboo Looking at where religion has placed me makes me question His supremacy Lurking these emancipated streets has earned me the lone wolf Searching for the fallen star so I can make a wish Whatever love or happiness left in me has given way for hatred and anger I rather die in solitude than surrounded by friends Replaying the scene of how my breath will be taken away for the tenth time I feel the adrenaline rushing upoj through my veins Recognizing the glasses before I could see his eyes Dark, sunken and filled with hate but his heart even darker Could it be today as I patiently await the cold hands of death How graciously the sheep has fed with the wolves That I know not who I have grown to become He gave up hopes of survival as he knew it was time And before he could move, the sound I have lived different life times Shed eight lives as I await the final Hoping I never have to live a life of lies A thousand tales will lay peacefully beside me I have cried in the rain and danced to the rhythm of the wind I admire the stars above and have conversed with few on earth Lost in my thoughts Laughed and partied with my demons While stuck in my forever hunting past There must be a place of peace for me after here A reward for this torture, A life without a purpose And if there isn't a better place after here I want it to be fast without seeing my life flash pass I walked the earth searching For the impossible I fought hard craving for what I probably might never see At the point where both world meet I sat Emancipated like the labourers of Solomon's mine Lost in my beliefs with these de ja vu The tenderness of my bleeding heart Punctured and fading like the shooting star Unlike the shooting star it fades without a purpose I am Lost Patiently waiting for the sunrise to guide me For this time my life might fade with the sunset A puppet without a purpose And a soldier without a mission I have become I silently listen as the crickets sings my Ode But this time they seem so high above me In what gathering shall I dine tonight In what body will I be reborn -Stephen Oshioma Imoyera |
