Lithium Dreams
Shattered fragments
of a world so cold.
Leaving behind memories
I can not escape.
Lock me up
alone in my mind.
Fuel my insanity,
find my forgiveness.
Lithium Dreams,
altered reality.
Hidden by darkness
plagued by the light.
Forgotten images
of a time less lived.
Wash it all away
let it all go.
In the end
broken I fall.
Lithium dreams,
synthetic nightmares

Some strong imagery here. I have never taken Lithium but the metaphors to describe the effects seem kosher to what I know of it, considering Dad is a Drugs Rehabilitation Officer. Nice strong imagery here.
-
Very Beautifully written, the imagery was just quite fantastic. =] I really enjoyed reading it, thank you for the entry.

It really is perfect for the ending of this poem. And it's very Evanescency. Alyssa -
