VISIONS OF CONFUSION

2021 By Jeff Oliver

In life, we battle many Demons.

Many of them are our own.

In the corners, we are always screaming…

As our souls go comatose.

We keep starting fires that we can't put out.

You can hear the piercing shouts!

There is so much self-doubt while losing control.

We are always fighting battles that we never wanted to know.

On with our lives, we must go.

We are opening many new doors within the many shadows.

We scream!

We bleed as we fall to our knees.

We search for more as we learn.

We will always fucking burn!

Our souls break wide open.

Our minds become in sync.

The screaming and the bleeding usually filter themselves out.

Demons will never stop attacking.

You must always stay prepared.

Each one harbors a different kind of nightmare.

Stare in the mirror if you have to…

Shatter it if you must!

Leave your burdens in the fire and fuck shit up!

Clean up the broken pieces that used to cut so deep.

Sometimes you must walk through the fire to finally find your peace.

My Demons are so strong in my mind.

They provide so many vivid illusions.

I’m afraid of what’s to come…

Within my visions of confusion.

I wasn’t prepared before…

I assure you that I am now.

I never knew where to search for the right door.

I found that door and I now know how…

I finally know how to stop battling myself.
