Mental Disfigurement

Childhood dreams crushed by adulthood realities
The freedom to try and the pain of failure
Why must things desired become those of deceit
Forcing myself to do the unthinkable
But the nourishment of the past creates the beast within

Crying out to love afar
Releasing tears of molten rock
Unbearable to others but the pain I carry is real
Struggling to become what words say I will never be
So focused on the task at hand
Never realizing the failure ahead

Helping hands of burning flesh
Those who stand near enjoy the sight of my demise
Love needed tangled in a bottomless box
Pleading to false images of hope
Riding the dark clouds of resentment
Landing in fields of buried memories from within

Trapped inside of a labyrinth cube
The only way out is in
Wanting a life that I have never seen
Needing a life that I have already lived
Save me from this mental disfigurement
Save me from knowing the outcome of my faults.....
