Topic: Lines of Time
I am the unknown…
Possibilities, actions and thoughts.
I am what could be, but isn’t.
I am what is, yet rather not be.
I bring you to the point of blame,
Or love to hate.
I am the different, the same, the strange,
The misunderstood.
I am what you lost,
What you cannot have,
Or have to lose.
I am your mother, your father,
Your sister, your brother,
The next-door neighbor,
Or the person you’ve never met.
I am when you’re right,
And when you’re wrong.
I am what you believe to be,
Without being.
I am what you cannot understand.
I am the shadows you create,
And the light shown on what you dare not see.
I am the control, you cannot have.
I am the bringer of nightmares and destroyer of dreams,
Come true.
I am reality you cannot bare
And the fantasy you cannot hide.
I am what was and can never be.
I am the driver of your desires,
That keeps you at arms length of arrival.
I’m the hope bringer to all your wishes,
To drain them away.
I am the truth that projects the lies.
I am the friend you hold on to,
And the lover you push away.
I am what you think is,
Yet isn’t.
I am what you make,
That wasn’t.
I am the monster under the bed,
The thunder, the flame.
I am the freedom to do anything,
And the boundaries to do nothing.
I am your own mind, working against you.
I am their mind, working against you.
I am, you, that runs from sanity.
I am the giver whose there to take.
I am what you take,
In fear of being taken.
I am the bargainer, the traitor, the shyster,
The thief, the honest man.
I am the celebration of victory,
The shame of defeat.
I am lust and loneliness.
I am what keeps you alive,
And kills your heart and soul.
I am what lusts for you.
I am for your own damn good.
I am your scapegoat.
I am what you are,
And what you aren’t.
I am what you fear.
I am FEAR!!!
You breed me, you feed me,
And you cast stones at me in fear.
