Inner Child

Innocence faded into the night
Stripping away the armor of light
Squeezing laughter outside the heart
Turning promises into a promiscuous gallery of art.

Feelings molding the canvas to initiate a new start
Patterns of love withdrawing their energy signature
Challenging the mind to cope with a fragmented spirit
On the lookout for its origin to quickly depart.

The struggle went on for years
A battle so devastating causing the body to fall apart
All those pictures of sanity vanishing into the abyss without sparks
Faith is non-existent in the ephemeral vault of the dark.

A monster pushing away the inner child
Captivating the tormented soul with low frequency vibes
Munching while locking the chains of eternal void
An easy catch for a hungry ego overjoyed that it can destroy
The masterpiece built for decades by a graceful heart eager to evolve.

Are you happy with your approach?
Is this the perfect transformation you were looking for?

Mesmerized in comfort he smiled behind the shadows
A familiar accomplishment nurtured for centuries
To feed the illusion of shattered hopes
Awakening those willing to fight for precious earthly memories.
