The sand slips between my fingers, <br />The last shards of humanity falter and cave in, <br />A single shadow of what I used to be walks a desert of emotion, <br /> <br />This is the desert of faded emotions, <br />Sadness, hate, as well as joy are tangled together, <br />Hollow houses rise above the sand, <br />Burnt out, ransacked, and robbed, <br />Broken and bitter they are but markers of the past, <br /> <br />Sun bleached bones mark a path, <br />A path that leads to the end of all things, <br />Where the sand meets water, <br />Where the crazed emotion meets the tranquility of the water, <br /> <br />The shadow of what I am stands at the coast line, <br />Looking at the water, <br />Looking at his sanity, <br />He will never touch it, <br />For he is afraid he will be socked up from the sand and no longer be, <br /> <br />Because he is a shadow of a broken me, <br />If my mind becomes clear he can't keep me chained, <br />I'll be fee and he will die, <br />So he will forever stand on the cost line but never touch the water, <br /> <br />He likes keeping me chained, <br />But he doesn't know theirs a tidal wave of serenity coming<br /><br />Shadrach Knight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/emotional-desert-and-tidal-waves-of-serenity/
