Melodies and relationships,
perspective changes with age.
Self evident the discontent,
A flawless facade,
all the rage…
Resonance and discord battle,
Harmonies fall out of true.
When ambitions are low
our flaws do show,
and dissonance ripples through.
Lyrical arcs, passionless sparks
as we chase the elusive muse
Desires weight, inspires hate
Resentment,
and abuse.
Tensions and tuning tighten
strings,
stretched to the brink.
Tumultuous dreams,
gaslighting schemes,
the truth
may not be,
what we think…
Contemplation,
Isolation…
Cacophony,
Estranged…
A past full of tears
the present of fears,
and a life forever changed . . .
