The Difference

"The Difference"

Living lifelessly, but still not dead,
Regrets and pride rushing like water through my head,
Questions with no answers are all around,
My feet don’t float, but nor are they on the ground.
Hatred and anger chill me as they run through my veins,
Love and hope simultaneously healing the pains,
Tears of both joy and sadness well up in my eyes,
I don’t want to give way, but I can’t silence the cries.
Betrayal and friendship is what I feel deep inside,
It’s not the life in me, nor the hope that has died,
Beliefs solve all these problems deep inside my boundless heart,
Sewing up all the wounds, once widely split apart.
Dreams conquer all my raging thoughts and emotions anew,
All the questions throwing my mind askew.
I shall ask them another day, perhaps tomorrow,
But as for today, I set aside the resulting sorrow.
I will come to this point many times again,
Crashing, running in circles with no end or gain,
But confusion holds more bliss than ignorance will ever be
I guess that’s the difference between you and me.
