distraught

the skies above are beckoning my soul
for all that i have ever felt within
i sense the storms approaching while the toll
of all my time trapped in a glass begins
where is the heaven i yearned for in life
why does my destiny imprison me
the cry of all i've longed within my strife
would whisper to my heart "you're not to be"
why can i not embrace the deepest truth
from where my essence lies, it's still unclear
why won't the beauty i dreamed in my youth
appear for me and take me far from here
i'm helpless now, i know within my thoughts
i am the cause of why i am distraught
