Darkness

This feeling that binds me to my spot.
A darkness fills this room.
It's an undecided gloom.
Can my heart beat with this rhythm.
A slow and steady pulse.
This heavy feeling.
It's stealing breath from my lungs.
I can't see past this curtain.
I'm certain that I can't escape.
Disorienting and impossible.
I want to run but my legs are lead.
An increasing sense of dread.
My senses are gone.
My fate has dawned upon me.
This music fills my ears and
I can't find any tears.

No matter

No matter what I say.
I cannot change your way.
The thing that I speak of is not of matter to you.
Cannot I not get through to you?
Let me make it clear to you.
The things i'm saying are nothing new.
Let me say the things of truth.
My speech will be uncouth.
You need to have open ears.
I will forget my fears.
Please just listen, just this once.
Out of my desperation,
you may be my salvation.

Halls are screaming

walking away.
the floors a disarray.
the walls are screaming.
am I dreaming?
Horrid words.
Like birds flying around my head.
I see something ahead.
But the walls.
These halls closing in on me.
Can't get free.
Stuck here for an eternity.

See

assumptions made.
morals fade.
why don't you see us for what we are?
Our eyes see what you see but you
distort it so it isn't me.
We work and understand what plans
you have for us.
We have confessed a disinterest in what those are.
We can find our way.
You did.
So see us for what we really are.

A hopeless insanity

A hopeless insanity,
locked behind closed eyes.
A knocking with words directed to her.
He's yelling.
She's gone.
A hopeless insanity moving forward.
He's screaming.
She's standing.
The black is taking over her mind.
She's in silence.
He's in hell.
A hopeless insanity less to do with insanity more to do with him.
He's going to push over the edge.
He does.
And she falls to the floor.
Gone.
A hopeless insanity.

A failed freedom

fleeing to a freedom.
they walked and ran and hoped.
it could be their only chance to escape,
the things that awaited them.
it could a freedom to last a lifetime.
It could be anyone.
Anyone who walked those lands who's body told
their story.
a face cracked like the barren lands.
eyes, grey from the storm.
a mouth twisted in a grimace sort of way,
for all the sadness and the joy.
Hands, worn from the duties of the past.
Legs almost broken to bits, from the walking
to freedom.
feet blistered but now resting in their grave.
a failed freedom.

It grabs my hand

Heart breaking.
Earth quaking.
I'm shaking.
It's not real,
it's all concealed away
with a hidden identity.
I'm falling,
away from this lie.
It's scaring me,
and I have to disagree with the truth.
I'm running,
and it's stunning the way I can think.
It's death and it grabs my hand.

Come away with me

Come away with me?
Into the world were no one can get to us.
Come away with me and you will see,
what we can be.
Come away with me?
and we will be the happiest we can be.

Let's

Let's run away from the sky.
Let's go up high.
Let's fill the ocean with our tears,
so we will have no more fears.
Let's run across the world,
so we can stay together.
Let's change the weather,
so we can stay out longer.
Let's make our bond stronger.
Let's pick flowers.
Let's have superpowers.
Let's make a movie.
Let's get groovy.
Let's go for a swim.
Let's go out on a whim.
Let's sleepover, well
you mind as well move over.
Let's stay out forever,
and never go back to school.

Little Angel

little angel.
you lifted your burden and up you flew.
We know that your intentions were true.
Your time was done.
Even though we felt like it had just begun.
We asked you to stay and protect us with your wings.
But you said, protection I cannot bring.
So you lifted your burden and off you went and
with you we sent our love.

Shiver

Little girl lost within the wood.
She withstood the cold and wind.
She was thinned in her white lace dress.
She was hoping god would bless.
She would shiver and cry out.
She had no doubt someone would look out.
but she mistook their love.
That one fateful night,
that little girl could not longer
hold tight.

How?

Don't you know?
how my whispers sound?
how the rain pounds on the roof?
Don't you know,
what it's like?
To be there?
To take believe in my prayer?
Don't you see?
how you've left me?

Fear

Fear,
seeping into pores,
curling it's black fingers on
beating hearts.
Stealing voices from it's like and replacing them
with screams.
Fear,
taking not what it deserves but what it's
victims give.

Runaway childern.

Runaway childern,
fighting for their share.
In the world, cold and bare.
Runaway childern in rags
without riches.
Runaway childern sleeping on the street.
Away from their mothers who cheat and
their fathers who beat.
Runaway childern packages
without joy.

Runaway childern come
again and be mama's boy.

defeated

defeated the pathetic bird was.
It could not fly or lift a wing,
it was nothing but defeated and could not succeed...

Stillness

The solid ground beneath my chest.
my heart protests as I hold my breath.
I'm asking for my death.
My reality fades,
grenades are falling behind my vision.
and I collied with my reality.
The lethality of these drugs are corrsing through my system.
There is no way to escape and my
muscles pulse, without impulse.
My vision fades to pitch dark black and my hair flys widely as my head
turns without my control and then the stillness takes over me.

On a road trip

On a road trip away from the things known.
It was not her own choice.
No one heard her wee small voice cry out.
Her parent's, they had no doubt.
They wished her to a better place.
And said goodbye with one final embrace.
The car they took her in was small,
their dark eyes bearing no trace of wanting a brawl.
So she let them take her carelessly,
breaking away absentmindly.
She gazed upon the barren lands,
and she understands,
she was no longer home.

Balancing Act

Balancing on the edge;
between what is sane and what is not.
A balancing act of the strongest minds
can conflict the weakest hearts.
A balancing act of courage
that is confronted with fear.
A balancing act that may only fall one way.

Past, Present, Future

You can follow with the future,
but what about the past?
You can stand around the present
but the future will have passed.
You can hide about in older times,
But the present won't agree.
You can plan for the future but
the present may change.
You can solve the problems with the past
but you lose time in the present.
You can tell the past to disapper but it's
what makes you the present and the future.

black bird

black bird,
black bird.
flitting your little wings.
black bird,
black bird.
soaring through the skies.
black bird,
black bird.
herding souls with your eyes.
black bird,
black bird.
don't fly this way.
black bird,
black bird.
you must have misheard.
black bird,
black bird.
i'm not dead...

Footsteps made of ocean

Footsteps made of ocean,

a devotion to the water.

A soul filled with coral,

brimming with the excitment of the waves.

Footsteps made of ocean,

a potion for a happy soul.

Winter Trees

Winter trees hold out their arms,
filled with snow.
Winter trees bestow upon our world beauty,
in frozen times.
Winter trees lie low underneath the weight of the snow.
Winter trees know the beauty of the winter.

If I stand before this ocean...

If I stand before this ocean, will it wash away my worries?
Will it free me of my sins?
Lift my mind of wrong decisions.
If I stand before this ocean, will it fill with all my tears?
If I stand before this ocean, will it swell with happiness from past years.
If I stand before this ocean will I be swallowed in?

Crystal Eyes

Crystal eyes that stare straight back,
that attack your very soul.
Endless pools of crystal light shining on
a hopeless night.
Crystal eyes that stare straight back,
are not forgiving in the night.
Those crystal eyes ones anyone could despise,
hold no person behind them.
