Peering through this open window, losing sight of everything:
Rewind the tapes and bring me back to when my mind was new -
When everything was fantastic and I laughed at feeling fear.
How have I slipped so far? Capsized in an ocean of thought
The memories I've held on to vanish and I'm left with nothing.
Maximize the dosage of prosperity and help me regain my eyes:
This scintillating struggle of mine does not have to end so darkly...
This documentary in my head reveals more than what I expected,
As moonlight silhouettes dance familiarly - reminding me of
How I once believed love would lead my heart towards salvation.
Now my beliefs only buzz monosyllabically in my head as I sleep,
Like a static series of sounds offset by the haze that haunts me;
Is there hope left in this somber world for a weary heart like mine?
I hope so, for now there is nothing else that I would rather find...
Peering through this honest window, I reach out for the light...

I've been hesitant to submit this piece for a few reasons: mostly because I wasn't sure if it was "finished" or not; also, because I haven't actually felt this "dark" in quite a while, but instead I've been exceptionally cheerful and optimistic as of late, so I didn't want to give anyone the wrong impression. Buttt - it's been sitting in my notepad file for far too long, so I decided that it was time to declare it as a "poem", and here we are.
Inspired by "A Scanner Darkly" and lingering thoughts from my own mind; I flipped to a random page and pointed at a random paragraph, and I told myself I would create a poem based on those chaotic criteria. At first I was stumped and was tempted to try the process again, but then - almost without even thinking - words flowed into me, and the basis for this poem was born. --- Want to hear this poem?

"The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason." ~John Cage~

A heart at the end of its' tether
Swiftly descending into blame,
Pain lasts only a minute,
Resounds through generations forever;
The aftermath, it spells my name.
