Taken

I leave the unhappy past knowing
I am more gloriously moving forward,
They put me down, but I am not drowning
in waves that are careless and awkward.
battling the tongues razor sharpened,
Drops of breath clawing at my ripped lungs
an overwhelming sense makes me feel fragile
and signs searching in the breeze has taken
the scent that struck the drive even as it dies  
in the pipe, it blows the sounds of hopeless,
when all the diligence inside feels ugly.
A genius will say, been smart is emotionless,
where intelligence feels dumb and lonely
tainted with standards if you are talented,
simple things make you feel incompetent
The mask of choices you protect looks bleak
They say when you think you are strong,
the next age taken will make you feel weak
you can stand and wait in the pharmacy line
Watch beauty go by in the hallway of memory
Turn into a maze that only plays on the mind
fantasies incline with no one, to depend upon
When brave friends are taken and gone.
With scars, I stand in the middle of a cross,
Suffocate and haunt, life yearns for intimacy,
Reasons that will make the noises of chaos.
in the cradle of time to forge its supremacy.
