THOUGHTS FROM ACTIONS

Hot temper,
Burning throat.
Anger not far from disappointment
All dancing, radiating in my skin.

Betrayal,
Disgust.
Pain from the people that mattered;
Lack of mutuality was clear.

Insomnia,
Nightmares.
Reality seemed close to the latter I feared,
Former only a symptom of self hatred.

Broken ladder,
Descending elevator.
Like despair, never let's you go further,
Happening in a way it can't be ignored.

Present day,
Past years.
Opposing phrases, yet no difference in them,
Just like late at night and early in the morning.
