Reality in a Dream

Awaken to a world unbeknownst to my heart
A myst of her presence lingers long after the part
Why do I feel so? Lasting imprints in a stranger's wake

Bustling, heed so, a warning so familiar
An unknown scent - An unknown dream?
Break this cycle of impressionable fortune
Behold the war of reality within a dream

Caution
Regret
The cycle grows
Love and unhappiness
The cycle goes and goes

Welcome to my world, unknown to my own
A reality in a dream in the pit of a storm

- Austin B.

Broken Rules

Please help me sort this
Collided callous capitivity -
Make this a real moment to bare
Upon a request of promised honesty

I take part in this game
A child's game of tag
With a paper and pen
I shall play

Weak, worthless, puny, apathec
Wreckless and wild, moments in regret
Taken, soothen, my mind in check
An instinctive driven fear, apologetic I suspect

Disarray the hands of change show
As the world continues to wave by
But I, a feeble fiddle, stands alone
To watch a moment die

Chance marches on
Fear keeps a-guard
You're it, my never-regret
Arret
