Purgatory Windows

Written December 6th 2012

By Adiena Published 4 years ago 1 min read

My mind is a wall full of windows,

With a new adventure in every one,

Those with the strength and passion to climb over,

Are the ones I will give a chance to have my heart in their hands,

Those that try to break the wall down,

Will only have my heart for a short while,

As I strive for the chance to show them the way,

My wall will slowly rebuild and the chance will be lost.

My heart is a burning inferno of people’s hopes, dreams, thoughts, and feelings,

As I try to show them the way,

My heart slowly smolders into the ground,

Those that follow the way can only try to keep an ember at bay.

My soul is the heart and being of all possibilities,

But as I strive for the security of others,

I am torn with the anxiety of strangers.

My Will keeps me strapped to this hell,

Of the inescapable drug of lust,

As my mind, heart, and soul climbs to the top.

Someone save me from my own purgatory.
