Monolith of Mind

We built our world on borrowed breath Stacked prayers on crumbling bone Wore our guilt like sacred thread Then begged the dark to leave us alone... I watched the sky forget its name As cities crumbled into dust The winds still whispered soft and tame Like nothing ever bled from us Footsteps echo in the clay Ghosts of choices left behind I wear my silence like decay But something stirs beneath the rind Cracks in the stone… Pressure grows slow… This stillness is screaming Though no one will know… Hands were raised to gods of glass They shattered with the weight of time No absolution ever lasts When truth becomes the only crime Walls remember every plea Each promise scratched into the skin And I remember being free Before the war began within I carved my fears in silent stone Let oceans rise inside my chest Each breath a faultline, overgrown By things I never once confessed The days grew heavy, pulled me down I wore the weight, became the ground And every scream I swallowed whole Now claws its way out through my soul I buried my voice In the marrow of days But silence Is just screaming Without a shape I HELD IT ALL – AND NOW I BREAK! NO MORE VOWS THAT FEEL LIKE CHAINS! I AM THE WOUND THAT NEVER CLOSED – THE STORM YOU FED – THE END YOU CHOSE! YOU BUILT THIS WORLD TO WATCH IT ROT! NOW TASTE THE PEACE THAT TIME FORGOT! I WAS YOUR WALL – YOUR SILENT STONE – BUT NOW I SCREAM: YOU'RE NOT ALONE! There’s beauty in the ruins Even fire leaves behind A shadow made of memory Still etched into the mind I don’t forgive I don’t forget But I still breathe Among regret The ground no longer trembles The anger’s turned to dust But in the quiet aftermath I still don’t know who to trust...
