pandora's box

what happened to sanity?
what happened to peace?
together with our ashes
they're lost in the breeze.
a nightmare i can't wake from
am helpless to see,
a nightmare i can't wake from
because i'm not asleep

interactive...
i am sitting
in a reverie
-online-
with my words
to heal me...
the outside world
cannot harm me here...
the prose flows freely,
can almost feel 
the poison drain
from me...
introspective...
i see everything
the feelings and thoughts
that once were elusive
are calling me now.

war over hatred
no one's wrong,
no one's right...
on with the bloodshed
no conclusion is sight.
why can't we open 
our shuttered eyes
and see what we've done
to this once paradise.

introduction...
this is who i am,
my words speak for me
i hope you understand
not just a message,
my writing cleanses me
my writing heals,
my writing makes me free
unfragmented...
i feel more complete
introverted...
alone with my thoughts,
finally....
i hope you can see
this is for me
the best way to find
peace of mind.
