Elusive
A cloud of mystery
Misunderstood
In a world of no absolutes
Living on the edge
We crave the darkness
Desiring the depths of detachment
No rules
Nothing to discipline the masses
Rose-colored glasses
Distort the view
Unclear expectations
Misguided morals
Madness
Emptiness
Shallow waters
Fill the oceans in our hearts
We cry out for more nothingness
We are crystallized carnage
Nothing penetrates
We cannot feel
We do not live
Pieces of us die
Everyday
Among the living
The laughing
The foolish
The melancholy masses
Longing for belonging
Self serving
Re-writing truths
Tantalizing
Tormenting
Appeasing itching ears
Pleasing all
But nothing satisfies
Wanting more
Getting nothing…
