Awake

I'm awake
Although I've been in half-asleep dreams
Wandering through my numb-driven paths
Of semicolon throat, impaired thoughts and silent deaths
The waiting persisted for many long years...

Postponed duties, praises and hopes kept me through
But drowned in the lake of Ophelia's passionate desperation
I envisioned only the wildest of human desecrations
Even when mother told me:"Son, glory will come soon."

Far beyond the myriad
Of moon's, planets and stars
The void is preserved from human scars
For to be involved in the human is to suffer, as in the iliad

But you see, now I'm awake!
After dwell on Mephistopheles tricks
He himself realized that in my subtle maze
Like Cain, I'm my own misfit

For us, what is left
Are mirages, fragile illusions
Fortresses to keep us from going mad
We must abide by life's delusion

Awake from our childish sleep, I dare
We'd refuse being again just a blank slate
For knowing too much about human fate
Brings this strange desire of dissipating in the mild air.

Sadly, I'm awake.
