Analysis of A Young Man

A young man, burdened by the weight of past mistakes
Endlessly repeating the same trial, until he stings
Exhausted and worn, a shadow of his former self
Lost in hallucination, his mind lost in a mirage of prosperity

He longs for change, but cannot escape his past
His footsteps haunt him, an unshakable horror
He slips into darkness, seeking help but finding none
A scared kid, restless adult, a teenager on the move

Wandering between the spinning sky and earth below
Distress seeds sprout within, his nerves in turmoil swell
Alluring crystals tempt him with their fatal allure
His chest in pain, a collection of atoms that once unmixed

He falls apart, like ashes of long dead stars
Left with nothing but the ever-classy sadness that disfigures
The whining urge to rid himself of the remnants of his past
Turning, running, burning, leaving it all behind in the end.
