One Last Stand

Surrounded by shroud of haze
One can't see both ways
What's in mind cannot be felt
What I feel cannot be conveyed
What can be conveyed cannot be acted on
A spiral sucking me into its vortex

Coming undone is easy
Staying whole a different ball game
To make a blind leap requires faith
Belief isn't easy to come by though
Auto tuned to desecrate
Heart is frivolous, needs to be tamed

Mind over matter
Light over darkness
Love over indifference
Stoic in the face of misery
Blossoms over the gloom of winter
Soul knows what it wants, but knowing isn't living

Here I sit and let the time go by
A stream of memories never made
Remembrances like dreams they come
Vivid and abstract at the same time
I can feel the emotions yet the specifics elude me
Wish to be done with stronger than ever

Harp on all the goodness
The vile me lies hidden
Waiting to catch me off guard
Looking to square it off
Yet I stand brave and tall
Ready for one last stand
