I don’t know where I am, and I don’t know how I got here. I opened my eyes, and I was blinded by the light radiating above me. I thought to myself, Where am I? I tried to stand, but my legs felt numb. Had I ever walked before? No… stupid question. Of course I’ve walked. I remember long hikes down the beach, strolls through the foothills, jogs along the riverside. So why can’t I move?
As I lay there, lost in my confusion, not understanding the situation, I was stunned. A sudden wave of sensation washed over me. I could feel hot and cold, wet and dry. I could hear sounds all around me. The roar of engines, the cal
I’m tired of running
I’m sick of the lies
I can’t hold it back now, the tears that I hide
The one and the only
The woman I loved
The torrents of madness she pours from above
Controlled by my anger
Confused by my guilt
I carry a burden society built
The widely accepted
The sins of my past
It eats me alive, and I can’t hold it back!
To who should I run
When I’m drowning in sorrow
I’m telling myself that there’s always tomorrow
The days begin meshing
The years are a blur
I’m trapped in a cage now, with bars made of her
I’m broken inside
I can’t seem to think
The madness inside pushes me
I wake up every day and know it’s a new beginning
Coping comes easily
Everything is fine
People tell me they look up to me
I can sense when others hurt
The days that pass are only temporary
Regrets are things I never carry
Burdens of the past are lessons for my future
Loving others comes naturally to me
I’m only in it for the fun and games
Talk to me, I’m here to listen
My advice is that of an old soul
Keep me company, it’s worth your time
I’ll only miss you when you say goodbye
The words above are all a lie
I tell them to myself
The one who knows and sees me true
Is the only one who knows me… You.
It sits there, writhing on the wall
Flicking in and out of existence
Never succumbing to the advances I make against it
It taunts me, showing fault in every move I make
Always present, lest I envelop myself in darkness
A constant reminder that I must change
It holds me, like a prisoner in a cage
Tearing away the sanity I once held dear
Forever reminding me of what I’ve done wrong
It liberates me, like a bird in the air
Leaving no trace of existence
Save for the shadow, writhing on the wall
You are my Spring
You bring me beauty
You bring new life
Every day, a new beginning
Colorful landscapes paint the horizon
The gentle breeze carresses me to sleep
The grass glowing ever brilliant under your radiant light
You are my Summer
The warmth of your glow
The heat of our moments
The rays of joy you cast with your smile
Always hopeful, always bright
Ever the optimist, you guide me from the dark
Never wandering far from memory
You are my Autumn
The cool touch of your palm
The deep colors I see in you
Like the crisp leaves fallen from the sky
Resting, innocent as a newborn child
The passion you instill in me
Will never fade away
You
I've found something deep within
A hole, the shape of a heart
It burns with desire
Its depths are fathomless
I feel it
It pulls at my soul
It rips at my body
It must be filled
But who, if any, can carry that burden?
I know of but one
A pure, loving, angel of a person
Do you feel what I feel?
Do my cries reach you?
You speak, and I listen
You move, and I follow
Your every breath is a relief
Every fibre of my being yearns for you
Every hair stands on end when you're near
Every passing moment with you is an eternity
You don't know me
You don't love me
You can't possibly
But I dream, and I hope, and I wish
That one day
The hole that I could never
Years passed, your beauty glowing ever radiant.
Plentiful love flowed betwixt our hearts.
The warmth of your skin,
The touch of your lips,
The anticipation of seeing you at days end;
Moments to live for,
To dream of,
To cherish.
Walks through the parks, lovers hand in hand,
The bountiful light of joyful souls
Playing serenely off the face of life.
The glimmer in your eyes so sweet
I could scarce but taste your happiness.
The days we sat around,
Laying for hours, arm in arm,
Enjoying the presence of one another;
Feelings to die for,
To pine after,
And to hope
That someday, maybe,
We can live those moments once more.
For now, I can no longer ca
Waves of pain and doubt wash over me
Like and endless sea of misery.
Distressed, I lay awake
Watching, waiting.
To who will my heart fly
Now that it's been crushed and thrown to the wind?
To what ends must I go
In my search for peace and joy?
How long, my love, have you felt so?
How fickle is thy heart
That so quickly it grows for yet another?
The years spent with no purpose
Save to bring you joy,
Cast away like rubbish
And drowned in emotions unspeakable.
Have you not eyes
To see the darkness grow in mine?
Have you not ears
To hear my cries for mercy?
Yet you ignore my plea
And yearn for a man who you know not.
Perhaps I am a fool
To think o
Take commands
And carry out
Left, Left, Left Right Left
March in time
Conformist crowds
Left, Left, Left Right Left
Take your guns
And shoot 'em down
Left, Left, Left Right Left
Load your rifles
Kill 'em now
Ready, Halt, Fall out
Charge and stab
Shoot and shout
You're taking all your anger out
You're pumping up adrenaline
You're walking down the murder route
Keep in mind the countless lives
You've ripped away from worried wives
The cries of children in their beds
As bullets pierce their fathers' heads
You cold hard killers have no shame
You murderers are not to blame
For what you do you justify
With all your military l
The world,
Broken inside.
In a nutshell,
Empty.
Inspiration drained,
Abandoned by the Muse.
Poetic revelations
Prosaic in recitation.
Time ticks by.
Clocks have stopped.
Life so temporary,
Seemingly eternal.
Pen and paper collide.
Words clash,
Meshing together,
Lacking originality.
Disaster and harmony,
Together chaotic as clockwork.
Rhyme and meter
Thrown to the wolves.
Humanity making an escape,
Taking shelter
In prison cells.
Heathens and heretics
Stand righteous in their ways.
Discord and discontent
Paving paths to peace.
Complex complacency
Intriguing the minds of apathy.
The world
In a nutshell.
