2011
Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition
Under a trance called a nightmare, I thrash and cry
Below the sky of dyed red, the constant dread
I am alone and forgotten beneath this wide sky
Wanting an exit, the tears I shed
But forgetting the pain, that will never disappear
Is much harder than you think
Wanting the end that will never draw near
And the very last thought you think
Today’s darkness, is a mystery like always
In a space between a world of cruelty
Marking time stabs and sways
Seeking its prey to call a fool
A kingdom of dreams, far from sins and evil
Afar from the things called miracles and fate
Where the souls of innocent prevail
In the empty realm I hate.
