Noises of distraction Bombards from all directions Never a moments rest for the consumed The sirens call Beckons me into her arms After all I succumb to seduction I recall The Irresistible compulsions Big or small Time slowly slips away Reprogram the mind in the language that it speaks Anchors of the past scratched out as old memories The Sirens call Distracts me once again Subtle fall Chips piece by piece Once and for all Conquering the daemons Standing tall I reclaim control The ghosts of the past which haunts our esteem Sinking legions of time As it drains into obscurity Forced into action, despite the heavy burden Frees oneself from the latches of these chains Tethers long buried Yet still holding strong Teaching us the mystery of release Be the journey and not the goal Though at times you may lose hope Give not your power to the fleeting things Intoxication dulls the senses k**ing the pain with everything else Constant activity on the trivium of life Cut out the excess with a surgical knife Refusing to look in the mirrors reflection Afraid of what appears before thee Striving at fulfillment but never reached A never ending circle of valleys and peaks The same time given to all of mankind Make with awareness The choices that decide your life
