Lyrics:
I’m no longer what I was. My bandages have been soaked in my blood, my vessels no longer march to a beat that once was my drum. Dust upon my feet- no longer do concrete slabs feel harsh but; my soles are worn and my grip is gone. Within my hands are faded fingerprints- which had once marked my name- In spaces, through souls, with hopes that any ounce of glory would be reminiscent and transparent. But they tremble, I cannot grasp anymore. I am alone I glance up to see not faces, but I hear ghosts of these voices All these I have lost. I am lost. I am lost, despite that all the doors have been locked. The grounds do not provide mercy as I kneel- as I fall- into its dust. I could close my eyes and sense its grains of sand trickle unto me- I beg to be dust. I must be dust, no other friends have walked in through these tunnels nor are they guarding me Is it just I, or am I becoming dust? Turn, look, run, hide I am alone I glance up to see not faces, but I hear ghosts of the voices I have loved, Despised, fought, won, and lost. All these I have lost. I am lost. Somehow, yet somewhat- I hear a voice. My head throbs in anguish, I cannot keep my eyes open. I want to sleep. I want to sleep and never ever wake again. I can be dust and fade into its grains of obscurity. But the whimper, it won't leave.
Story:
I wrote this poem as a powerful exploration of loss, pain, and isolation. The opening lines "I'm no longer what I was. My bandages have been soaked in my blood, my vessels no longer march to a beat that once was my drum" suggest a sense of physical and emotional trauma, which I myself haven't endured, but Ive seen close friends and family go through these. The lines "Dust upon my feet- no longer do concrete slabs feel harsh but; my soles are worn and my grip is gone" convey a sense of weariness and exhaustion. The character has been through a lot and is struggling to keep going. The lines "I am alone. I glance up to see not faces, but I hear ghosts of these voices. All these I have lost. I am lost" emphasize the sense of isolation and loneliness. Overall, this poem is a powerful reflection of loss, pain, and isolation. It emphasizes the importance of holding onto hope, even in the darkest of times.
