Please release me from my dreams
Eccentric pieces of shattered wishes
Rhetorical questions linger within
Playing a game with no determined rules
Every day I'm sinking lower
Trading my sanity for thoughts of maybe
Unsparing forces surround my mind
As my walls crumble around me
Lying faces laugh at my expense
Blinded by unattainable ambitions
Loitering at the edge of reality
Inspiration sapping me of life
Symbolic meanings dance around
Sweet anticipation curdles in my mind
