It is simply a poem about the feelings I came into the new year with..


The new year seems cold

Cold hands and twisted promises

Jagged lies and ruined hopes

Dreams that claw at your throat

A truth that tears at the seams

A broken feeling that never quite set

A flame without it’s fuel

A quiet burning in my chest

Questioning if this is all real

A world that spirals and falls apart

A heart that threatens to break

A soulless whisper in my mind

As treachery runs through my veins

The monsters in my head, they speak

Hell, they’ve all got names

No, I’m not scared of the dark

I can see without my glasses’ frames

But this existence defies logic

Crimes go unpunished

The fated never meet

So secrets we all keep

Dusting off the final dregs

Of a broken reality.
