The Need

The need

 

He sat there gazing

His heart was empty
His mind was playing tricks on him
He looked dead
One could see through the hurt
The hunger for better
The void that needed to be filled with meaning

He has a need to speak

The need to explode and define
He felt like running away
But the walls were too close for that to happen
He fought in a cold war
Where white flags did not exist
The need to get out of the war
Let it be known that people can see

His mind still didn’t let him be

While his heart was pounding against his chest
The need he had, had him bruising
This hurt could not be defined
He’s the only one that could feel this

Words failed him

Actions exposed him
He is left mentally naked
As he wonders off between the pain and the need
What could set him free?

The power he thought he had vanished

Look at him
Look at how hollow he seems
The hurt has ripped him apart
Anyone can see through him
Though he tries to keep it together
The weight is more than he can handle

He is not a runner

Though he is short tempered
He still decided to sit there and gaze
The war is far from over
But he has no ammunition left to stand firm
The need is too much to bare
His feet are cold
But his body is burning with the desire to stand up
This is sad
Sad from close and even far

The need the man has is not written on the walls

There is no manual he could read
There is just blankness
There is no light
There is no hope
In his eyes all he could see is defeat

He tried to stay strong

But the world he’s in is not fair
They say time tells while it heals
Well he has non in sight
The need has left him not believing in a lot
The blood flowing inside him is not the same

A cold war is fought in vain

The pain is too much for him
Look at him
Look at how he is seeking for that need

The need to smile

The need to be excited
The need to see the world he chose in a different light
The harder the thought
The harder the reality

The need

The need
