SO FAR DOWN THIS ROAD

Breathing life into this husk

Trying to bleed out the pain

Unsure if I can succeed

I've only ever dreamed of something better

And have never laid my eyes on it

But I have a dream

And it must drive me...

Sustain me...

Love me back.

I believe in my abilities

But I know my failings as well

These two demons fight relentlessly

And I am always left the victim in the middle

I know I can survive this

But the wounds from battle are easy to see

So far past just smiling thru it all

But not far enough to be running from it

Breathe Mark, Breathe

None of this is real

It's only your mind creating situations it can understand from the mess of things it can't rationalize.

This too shall pass...
