echoes of silence

Do not speak Just sit here next to me Hold me gently and caress me Even as I descend into the unfathomable pits of anxiety Remedy the existential angst of a troubled poet With just the sun in your eyes Reinvigorate my fading energy... Far too often i feel Trapped in the matrix Stuck between phases and places and faces Vexed by the blurred images of all I am, all i was, all I'm yet to be Tryna navigate the path back to myself Lost in the mazes of memory Clinging on to fast fading ecstacies Yearning to peak past these walls but old enough to realize that freedom comes at the cost of an arm, a leg and a dozen souls O' if i could just peek beyond this wall Then would I not have it all?
