cleric that
was once
monotonous an
underwear vamp
that really
would camp
and throw
flowers with
magnolia in
spring and
barter his
loaf with
Virginia too
a stranger
in flux
for blitzkrieg
Druzzayne Rika Nov 2017
She's just touching the surface
reaching no more than her own pain
losing days trying to wash her tear stains

the world's wishing her to rise above
look in their eyes and see the truth
to see what they try to allude

there is no straight way, no easy route
and everyone is the passenger of the same boat
looking for the very same perfect coat

But no one will get something which is not theirs
fate has decided everyone's own roadmap
there are some small steps, some big traps

Wait for the check points, rather than all stones
the game of the life, all to achieve and leave
don't just halt at one step to grieve
because she's just wasting her time.

I'm having fun playing dead while I'm keeping my head straight.
Is that hilarious or what? What's funny, is I'd rise for the right hurt.
You've detached yourself, though. Your words sound like grey sleep
within the walls I repaint, day after day when I wake, with the color
you turn away yet still absorb, like there's no short supply. My brain
works for crackers and runs on want that's begun drying.
I'm getting tired of the people I work with. They have it all together. And meanwhile. I just need to **** it up. There are things worse in life than loneliness, way ******* worse.

Life** is brutal
Life is tender
Life can be happy
Life can be like sand through our fingers

Life is a blessing
Life is a checkpoint
Life is a passage
Life is a journey

I'm tired
I'm old
I'm sick
I'm depressed

Complaints and complaints
when will it end?

It will end when it ends
Life is a story
God writes it out
This is our destiny

Stop trying to control
When to write 'The End'
Just work hard to make
gold out of sand

Make life worth it
Tell your own story
Fight against your enemies
Destroy old prophecies

This is Life
This is a story
One day we'll reach our destination
And witness the full glory

Of the skies up above
or the ground down below
One day we will understand

That life is gold.
