Through the mist

Through the mist of tears,
I see everything crystal clear.
A path winding amid a forest
aglow with sugar coated deception,
dripping with heart piercing venom.
Each step I take, slips in the muck
of loathsome nightmares, and severed dreams.
Pride a distant memory, like a lover's caress
long forgotten.
Dancing between this world and the next.
Tiptoeing around pitfalls leading to suffocating
darkness.
Burdens of wisdom weighing me down,
threatening to drown me in a pool of insanity.
Visions burning my brain, melting through
to the core of my being.
Surrounded by others wrapped in a blanket
of their own deceit, and clouded truth.
Through the mist of tears,
I see everything crystal clear.
