Self Deliverance Poem by Daniel Richards

I lay awake at night, dancing with the shadows, singing a lost soul serenade with the growing moonlight woe,
Lost in a heavy silence only remembering what I’m now feeling,
Sitting like a lonely child holding all inside,

I wander through fiction looking for the truth, sifting through the fabric of my mind,
Too erase all the implemented lies as,
Each day I hold on, standing on the edge of right and wrong, I can no longer run and leave this all behind, for its ferocious swiftness embodies this psychological race
Catching me up each and every time

I wish everyone could be loved tonight so we can stop this endless internal fight
I can change my world I can mend my mind,
So tonight’s the night my world begins again
