Gettin it out... a lil' at a time

The hours pass
The paint flakes
Off these walls
The mirror reflect
Florescent lit room
I'm so far
Far farther away
Light can't find
My blessed home
Haven without walls
Natures vast colors
Frames not required
Speak with me
Share your endeavors
Let them entertain
My heartfelt memories
Times to come
Skin flakes off
Hair grows back
These lungs heal
This psyche included
Just another meal
Change of clothes
Hot candlelit shower
Then watch enthused
As people fall
To the ground
To another soul
Or far worse
Away from themselves
Fears to be
No not me
Survivor I am
Until the end
I dare not
Empower that thought
Share with you
Whatever you seek
All I've found
You've given me
All I need
Love from one
Shadows ill fate
Sun rises again
We are anew
Me and you.
