Atlas, by Liliane

Atlas

Pain radiates from my shoulders

As I am carrying the whole world

I imagine others hurting

Like it could ease my pain

But it won’t ever go away

There’s nothing I can do

It’s stuck on me

So I remain silent

And suffer without saying a word

The Lily of the Valley Blossoms beautifully Its fragance is light and fresh But poison runs through its veins, A dark side it surely hides

What a beautiful rose in my garden I look at her And I remember Only her Can keep my secrets forever

Anxiety is dancing in my mind In a loud trance My fears Are rushing into my head How can I ever stop them?

Everyday I worry I dread this coming month, September The milestone of our life The day our fate will be known

A witch he thinks I am That a spell I’ve cast on him Through the delicous taste Of what I baked,

Light is her name She is precious like gold Luckier than Fortuna, Always outruning fate Flames blaze from her eyes

Sunshine, Driven by Helios through the Sky In a golden chariot To the sole purpose Of illuminating my life

There is a used, Withered coat Hanging in that wardrobe Holes Run through it

No direction No certainty Only questions I Wonder what will come next My thoughts are fidgeting all arou…

The water Falls in a mellow harmony Helping me to clear my mind And direct the current of my thoug… I close my Eyes

Words are slipping away From my lips Flooded with emotion I am As the mirage finally came to life

Today I feel like i am falling of… only to meet the hard, cold floor of my bathroom I cry for help I scream silently

Of a Sunny yellow She wears a legendary name Growing at the place Narcisse had drowned From the own contemplation

I stare at the mirror All I see is a Monster When have I started to become This horrifying wraith? Like Dorian Gray

Dew is covering my garden, As an invitation to open my eyes Virtuous nature that thinks of me Irresistibly I am drove to you, Devoted and delighted
