Blackbird



Shattered glass strewn across the floor
A conglomeration of mismatched images galore
Wallowing cry from distance..condescending me from afar
The black shore , the black tide ..where do I belong ?

A silent night...nothin stirs... I can't sleep
My head weeps ....My nightmares are too loud ..
Echoing cries come back to haunt me...
Glimpses of HOpe,Faith,Love.. Illusions all ..
The trust is gone... Cynicism is my right ..
Yes Cynicism...And hatred for it all...

I want to escape..but hands are tied...
No am stuck here... With this voice in my head ..
It won't let me sleep... I cry out....
I try to weep... the tears have dried...
I cannot but my anger vent ... I don't know
What cause is this ?? ... who had this anger sent ?

A black bird..comes flying by ... I look into her hollow eyes.
Am laughing...I mock myself.....
The BLAckBird has set me free.....
COme over to the dark side.
