The Stranger Remains - Diary of Dreams

Eyes in silence

Eyes in the dark

A life in patience

To survive and surrender

Whatever I feel

Whatever I see is just

A sign of hope

A reflection of my memories

Words covered with dust

In a book to my left

An urge to read

No permission

Helpless eyes

Voices fading

I regret

I regret

I tilt my head

I close my eyes

Voice — louder

Temptation rising

I shiver

I’m a stranger in my own skin

I’ll survive

But for how long?

And silence still remains

Whatever my belief and identity will offer

I can never purify my thoughts

And still

I linger in temptation

Still not daring to reach out

The book

My dreams

Written out in words that I can’t read

My fingers write

What my mind is not capable to think of

And silence still remains

I’m a stranger in my own skin

But I’ll survive

My fingers write

What my mind is not capable to think of

But I’ll survive

But for how long???
