MIRAGES

Misery and stress is what you call life    
Can’t you see we all wander lost?    
Our hearts are a mess and as the days go by, we only seem to care less and less    
   
So keep your pace in the rat race; wait for fear to slither out of the shadows    
Again and again, day after day    
   
You’re free as long as you’re on your knees; just do what they tell you    
Inhale fear, exhale life    
   
You can’t stop it, open your eyes; you can’t deny its sustenance
It’s always there; it waits for the bounty of broken dreams    
   
Hopelessness surrounds me every day; it strangles me and gnaws at my bones    
But I’ll try to avert my eyes from this agony    
Don’t let this suffering be my own    
   
How am I supposed to think when my mind is a choked gutter?    
How am I supposed to move forward when all I can smell is the stench of decaying hopes?    
   
I am fragmented, dissolved into the great unknown    
But believe me when I say; "I will return when the healing is done"    
'Cause what I know is nothing is real until you find yourself    
   
A vision so tangible in a universe so elusive    
My spirit’s elevated; my soul’s pierced with love    
I’ve found my solitude    
As I float in exquisite nothingness    
Towards the light    
   
--    
What do you think of this? Im from Sweden so Im not that good in English, but I try my best! Hope you enjoy it!
