Memoir for the Dammed

Awakened in the dark
With a hole in my heart.
Never to know the truth
Of what I’ve been through.
Only seeing the scars
And the monsters afar.
With a voice in my head
Thinking I’m truly dead.
Rotting away in this state
In a world I deem fake.
My temporary stasis
Knowing I can’t escape this.
Dear family what have I done?
Telling myself to run.
Run from your past,
From my darkest fears.
Leaving me for last
After these dying years.
Trapped in this cell
Resembling the real hell.
Hearing the voices of guilt
Surround the walls I have built.
The prison I remain broken
With one phrase left spoken.
For the life I have paused,
And the trouble I caused.
I stare upon the stars
Prying for my dying spark.
The light I once lived
Now the pain I shall give.
Looking in my pain to see
The true darkened me.
