It screams in my head
Shaking the walls with an echo
Resonating like a wind chime in a tornado
But little do they know
-- I’ve been deaf for a while now

My ears have long been hearing the murmurs of motive
So much continuous throwing of ideas
Has just become white noise to me, like a rain storm soundtrack
It just becomes back drop music, if there's no action to do it

So the real question for you is:

**Do you lack motivation or initiation?

I love autumn.
Why?
*Because it shows that dying can be beautiful.
I'm not the type of girl who chooses spring for flowers

Die every night.
Live every day.
Cease and become.
If you are truly living.
If you are living truly.
I wish death upon you.
Be you. A different one everyday.

We are critical.

We find flaws in
everything we see
because nobody
wants to write
about perfection,
even though sometimes
we wish we could just stay
staring into that
unblemished surface.

2. We are never satisfied.

We live our lives upon
mountains of
scrunched up
bits of refill and
ideas we gave up
trying to
express.

3. We never forget.

We write words about
eye contact made
three months ago
that we replay over
and over in our minds
even though it
stopped
being relevant.

4. We are fickle.**

Our emotions flash
from one
to the other
like strobe lighting that
disorientates us
until we feel as if
the world
will never be still.

5. We are exposed.

We don't know how
to keep our feelings
to ourselves so
we'll write them
down for
you to find
'accidentally'.

6. We are vulnerable.

We wear our
hearts on our sleeves
and won't lift a
muscle to fight back
if somebody tries
to break it
because we thrive
from the pain.

7. We will never stop.

We will never stop
feeling and
we will never stop
hurting,
we will never stop
breaking and
bleeding and
loving
even though the cycle
is endless
and we know what's
coming next.


We are addicted
to agony,
but we agonise
for the art.
It's worth it though.

I am here and I walk amongst you.
And to be honest, I’ve been doing it for quite some time now;
watching and observing

I am awake within you every time you open your eyes to see the light; and I am also there when they close for the night
My spirit lives on, like the cycle of dusk into dawn

Tell me how it could not be the epitome of irony,
When you see people dedicate their lives praying under a roof to my entity
As if I’ve died forever

The essence of my being has never left this existence
Persistence, persistence, just pray in persistence.
Maybe you’ll win this, battle one day
That you have within yourself
Look to my spirit and nobody else
But your blinders are on, and the faith has withdrawn
Your faith in my spirit feels completely gone
It’s wasted on someone else

Please, believe, in the spirt of me, and by the power of a god
I will set you free.
Can’t you see, from my pleas?
I’m trying to put you at ease.
I’m saying there's no difference between your spirit and me.

My energy, was the same one that came from the stars
On the day they exploded making a universe start
People say there’s no way, at the end of the day
That I can talk to your spirt cause I'll never display myself
Just a shelf, is what harbors my truth
Lay the bible of lies that was written in sleuth

Subjective thoughts that extinguish
The search deep within us
You stick to what you believe in
Cause if you don't, it's called treason
To god
But don't you think it's odd?
You have all these thoughts, that make you naturally maraud?

Let me give you the courage
To finally see, your treason to God
Is treason to me
Which is who?

It is you

You are the God of your life
Through death and through strife
When you pray to get right

You are the person you speak to, when you need hope to believe
When you reach a low point and you're down on your knees
Getting back to irony
Don't you find it funny,
That when our spirit is finally free;
We credit someone that we can't even see?

So believe, believe
I exist for you to see
Just look in the mirror
To see you are me
