Blinding darkness

Deep holes and darkness
Black spots and blue hopes
Looming time, limitless
Bounded acts, gagged ropes

Fickle mind, deserted luck
Forgotten triumphs, lost worlds
Messy futures, unpromised muck
Bleak landscape unfurls

Backseat chair
Unfulfilled talent
Burdened care
In nightly torment

False signs
Desolate times
Dull shines
Mental grimes

Incoherent directions
No writings on the wall
Illegible instructions
Still surely the fall

Now appears the sun
Untrustworthy, eyes shielded
Doubt has you won
Glimmer has yielded

Escape routes
Unknown, invisible
Plastic fruits
Tastless though amiable

Spread the wings
Free from your mind
Sweet falsehoods it sings
To enslave you behind

Carpe Diem
Awake, O' unconscious
Evade them
You, yourselves, so vicious

Out, out, damned spot
Pursue relief and balm
Lest you rot
Between dream and calm

Cursed to stumble
Lack of vision
Left to crumble
Before the intermission

No Deus ex machina
Where the helping hands?
Perennial in-betweener
Fragile thought strands

Pronouncing judgement:
Overhyped in prediction
Just mediocre in element
Expectations mostly fiction

Not good enough to make it
Only smart enough to frown
Not strong enough to take it
Just soft enough to drown
