toll bridge

I heard the laughter richochet off the wall

belitting my fall into temporary madness.

The world had drawn tight the curtain of uncertainty...

Was it worth it, the price I paid for the pain inflicted?

I summon my soul back into place,

and I rise from the depths of believing the deceptive façade.

You believe you've won but I shake my head no.

Whatever power that you HAD was bestowed to you by me.

And a fierce drive and love calls me back to my path.

Now time seems lost and  perhaps was ill spent, 

it was merely a moment in my life and I choose to encounter what's best.

Illusions return to their origin and the faith that I once had remains in tact.
