Shadows

I feel the tense of an emotional uproar, 
while a misery continues in this forever jigsaw.
Feeling like I'm stranded in familiarity,
searching through the shadows for that beautiful carefree.
Playing topsy-turvy as the waves break over me,
as life becomes the chapter of a foreign insanity.
 The mind still haunts on searching for that once upon a time,
back when the now was fiction and only written on a line.
Standing at attention when there's nothing left to say,
but this story set in truth that left the shadows of today.
