A World So Mysterious Poem by Seph Dent

I find myself in a world so mysterious
This newfound place so wonderful and curious
The tranquility, so strange to me, I'm delirious

A flicker of a memory - Have I been here before
Distorted figures, real or not, I can't be sure
I open the door in search of something more

But I trip and fall into a pit of blackness
The demons crawl upon my back in madness
They say they choose to live in sadness - It's good practice

Screams of silence fill my heart and soul
I reach out my hand in pain that I have never known
I feel incredibly alone trapped on my own

My world is hollow and my mind is filled with sorrow
With thoughts so desperate in a place so desolate
Darkness surrounds me - I am so lonely
When will this pain cease - Just take me home please

A shadow reaches out and helps me to my feet
He wipes away the tears and explains everything to me
But then he tells me I'm not free and throws away the key

It seems I've crossed the bridge between life and death
As I feel the strings upon my limbs and in my head
The anger and lies I'm fed is all that's said

My freedom rests in the hands of unattainable power
My wisdom weeps as I watch them watch me from their tower
I hide my face and cower and wait for the final hour

When will this agony I'm trapped in end
I feel I've done the best I can in an effort to ascend
My emotions contend, with disbelief my only friend

My world is hollow and my mind is filled with sorrow
With thoughts so desperate in a place so desolate
Darkness surrounds me - I am so lonely
When will this pain cease - Just wake me up please
