The haunting images flood my brain

The truth of what happened laid out plain

The world moves on without a care

While all my being is locked down there

In that pit, that bottomless pool

Where hopes and dreams lay and drool

Where bright futures I once held

Deep inside where I could weld

Would create a reality that I could bare

But now all I can do is sit and stare

Hoping the illusions keep filling my eye

And praying that time keeps going by

Until both reality and dream are one

But that will not happen until I am done

As the only place that both are found

Is when I am deep within the ground
