Stay

reliving the good days
Why can't I remain in this daze
I don't regret my past
For its time already passed
I remain at peace
After all I'm still in one piece

Senses since

hearing my heart beat amplified inside
Calm as an ocean
I feel a sense of confusion
Tired when I'm not tired
And not tired when I'm tired
Chills on my body when it's hot
When it's cold I sweat
No reason to explain
Things happening in the wrong order
Of course who is to say what is normal
Lately my senses have intensified
I don't question it
As much as I'm dumbfounded by its effect
As everything seems backwards
Time keeps moving forward

Left with me

no purpose or path set out
I'm left with the overwhelming doubt
Stuck in these familiar ruts
I'm stumped
Caged like a ruthless animal
Locked out from reality
I'm all alone
Singing the same song
With its unforgettable tone
Set me free
From this misery
Which accompanies me

Unbearable

help me to my feet
I can't do it alone
So much weight on my shoulders
Begin to crush
Any will I once had left
Like boulders
Time not in my favor
Leaves a bitter flavor

Surrounded

surrounded by a circle
With no light to spare
He lights a square
Sitting back in his chair
He's been cornered
His body carried out
Follow four coroners

Mirror

looking in a mirror is deeper than ones own reflection
It takes me back to my past
And where I am now
It's not the physical depiction to be seen
But the person inside I am and want to become
That reflects back
My goals
My life
My past present future
Hidden behind
A simple piece of glass

Death

death is a difficult thing to understand
The second we start living
We start dying
Each one of us are born with a beginning and end
Embrace the ones you love
Make each second last an eternity
For life isn't guaranteed
Death is

Open up

i open up
Slammed in my face
Doors shut
Emotions laid down
With this pen wears a frown
Tired of sitting
I stand up
Pulled out of these worn ruts
I can now breathe
For a blossoming tree
I'm set free

Inside

its insane
Pain left to my brain
Once sane
My wall knocked down by a swinging crane
Life flushed down the drain
On a run away train
My pages feel
With meaningless words
They remain still
This life's chapter
Unable to master
Remains plastered
By painful memories
No way to forget
Inside me they sit
For for no one
A blazing fire is lit

Changes

going through changes
Lonely streets
Open ranges
The road speaks
The way it treats
Stranded on a mountain peak
I take a peak
Reached my peak
A slow leak
Drip drops
While life's forgot

Reel

i keep it real
Like a replaying movie reel
There's no escape
So quickly I reel

Thoughts

he lights a square
Pondering life's dares
They begin to circle
Without care

Thrown away

been through it all
Threw it all
Out the window
As the music crescendos

Refuge

hope I haven't lost my touch
These words I write
Seem to speak
The only thing that kept me on my feet
In tough times they were my only crutch

Merge

Late nights progress to early mornings
Making the same mistakes daily
My days
Weeks
Months
Become one

My wish

all alone in a corner
People pass me by
No joy left or reason to try
I begin to cry
Tears filled with sorrow
Will my eyes see tomorrow
No legacy to leave
Just my words to read
I grieve for the once hope to believe
But before I carry away
With the breeze of the trees
All I ask
Is to be set free
As my one last attempt
Begins to flee

Pain

save me from the misery
The pain and suffering
It's beginnig to break me
Am I invisible to the world
I want to be set free
Trapped by the past
I can't move forward
While this time
Forever lasts

The storm

this storm coming shows no mercy
Center of destruction
I stand in the way
As looking to play
I pray
My troubles washed ashore
My body hits the floor
For I am no more
Wiped off this earth
As rain begins to poor

The woman

when all else fails
She's the woman behind the vail

Together

life fades by numbered days
Wars breakout
Through choice we doubt
Tempted to fight it
We stand
Forever United

Distant future

for the sake of your future
Will leave its own wake
The next steps you take
Will await
In a land of lost time
With hope you will find

The shadowed woman

She carries heavy burdens
Guilt stuffed inside just waiting to give in
She feels alone
Invisible to society
She hides in the shadows
So caring for others has made her feel careless
Observing people constantly
She herself just wants to be noticed
While in reality she's blessed
She's blind to the fact she's loved
In hoping to follow her steps
People ponder about her wonderful qualities
For all along she's been a teacher
Having brought out people's best
The woman yet still feels less

Drawn a rest

for all my hardships that have been stressed
Through the stripes I've worn
I've drawn a rest

Solo bird

Beneath the flock just wanting to be heard

Flys the solo bird

Empty skies with endless routes

Fill the clouded doubts

beginning and end

chose to spend

Life dangles

On this  leaveless limb
