No Solution

"No Solution" by Jonathan El Poeta, written in 2016 as a request for a friend.

In complete darkness with my eyes wide open, trying to find a way out, for a guiding light is what I'm hoping. I'm in a prison of my own making, living in fear of setting myself free, an eternity it is taking.
I'm trapped in a room without walls. Hardly any space to move, I try to stand but on my knees is where I fall. It's like somebody stole my hourglass and turned it sideways creating infinite hours. With dancing shadows overcasting, in fear is where I cower.

I've been stripped of all my dignity and possessions, the only things I have now are loneliness and aggression. I wish I had the courage to stand up and form a singular individual revolution, but I'm at my wit's end and clearly I see no solution. For an instant all my hopes became reality when I saw you reaching out to me. An outstretched hand in the darkness but for some reason I could see.

You placed your hand on my forehead and I felt relief, then to my surprise I felt you push me back down, my feelings changed to disbelief. You turned your back and walked away. You wouldn't listen to my pleas, you wouldn't listen to what I had to say. You disappeared into the darkness and that's where I remained. I give up, for every fiber of my being along with my hopes we're completely drained. The ground I now lay on, with my tears it is completely stained...
