Moonlight (Part 1 and 2)

written by: OurSacredHonor

I'm sick of pretending
to be who I'm not,
staring at my reflection
in an empty parking lot,
the picture's broken up
by rain drops falling relentlessly,
clouds fill the sky
as the night drones on endlessly,
an emptiness within
consumes my reality,
is it really the truth
or is it all a fallacy?
that face in the puddle
was it really my own?
would anyone care
if I stood here alone,
and drowned myself
in a flood of tears,
I've been killing myself slowly
over the years,
the pain and pressure,
are just too much to take,
I can't tell
if I'm asleep or awake,
blurry is the line
that separates life from my dreams,
clouds begin to break away
and darkness is shattered by moonbeams,
I find a small ray of hope
in that glimmering light,
it reassuringly let's me know
everything'll be all right,
when darkness is upon you
and there's no place to turn,
you are staring into darkness
and your eyes start to burn
staring into the blackness
of an empty night,
just know that you'll be saved
by the moonlight.


rain drops still fall
as I sit here and wonder
thoughts so loud
I can't hear the thunder
lighting flashes
pierce the sky
I'm soaking wet
and still wondering why
I feel the way I feel
on this night
I can't help but wonder
am I alright
is something seriously wrong
with me?
did somebody lock my mind
and throw away the key?
the confusion and pain
are too much to take
I am at the edge
and feel I might break
I'm losing control
and am spiraling down
will it all go away
when I hit the ground?
will I ever hit the bottom
of this empty well
or will I always be stuck
free falling through hell
but slowly the storm
begins to fade away
the clouds part
and the moonlight makes it like day
I open my eyes
and stare at me like before
I may win this battle
but life's always a war
it's a fight for freedom
to be happy in life
it's a fight for freedom
to be rid of strife
the universe is the battlefield
and the warriors are stars
and no general can defeat them
no dictators or czars
can overthrow their rule
amongst the cosmos of space
they are brave soldiers
each one without a face
they fight for happiness
they fight for my sanity
they fight for consciousness
they fight for reality
the stars are my allies
and each one is a friend
the tunnel won't last forever
because I can see moonlight at the end
