Little boy locked up Walled in by insecurities chained down by his own ********* proclivities too blinded by the darkness to see himself in the honest The coldness of the air Is a little more then one should bear and the dirt floor brings more confort then the few once adored

Out of touch
crafting emotions on paper is difficult when your lost of words frantically searching for a meaning to my scribble but never finding any connection to them it comes down like a death sentence when I write happy endings I'm constantly trying to edit my mistakes but always tearing away at the medium instead it's like etching out a new existence and never living it I'm not a man of many words so don't bother reading my mind you'll blur your vision and you'll become lost in the pages Just add a bookmark to me and come back another time or leave me on the shelf to collect dust because checking out was always a fiction

Fiction
Pe'ahi The emotions are rising like an unbreakable wave it is reaching its peak do I dare to be brave? I've tried to surf  this before always knocked right back to the shore swimming against the currents seems counter productive so I'm searching for a flow that's more constructive cause drowning is no way to breath and the clear open water is not always what it seems I'm jaded here sitting and watching the sunset by the beach but this stubbornness keeps the big waves out of reach

Pe'ahi
we paint a picture with dull colors choking on the paint fumes a dream piece turns into an nightmare the time swings on its pendulum the coming of judgement staring into the light there was no vision to our sight A insight, we choose to live without passion no tears of joy nor sorrow unconsciously giving into the night

Atavism
locked in his mind listening to  his own echos bounce off the walls he'd built up around him was trying to keep the world out must have left a crack somewhere sunlight coming through it makes him unconformable his hands are getting shaky again can't hold the shovel steady to dig a deeper hole for himself he begins to wonder what's lurking for him outside his walls they come crashing down around him dust settles, he opens his eyes, and with all his worries it was a beautiful September morning.

Nostalgia
The worst thing is not knowing  how your going to feel in the morning  a constant worry  needing a new direction   not knowing were to go  pretending often  that I'm not bothered by my indecisiveness.  Truthfully  I have a hard time deciding if I really care at all.  I know this makes me a burden,  maybe a burden to much to bear ?

Revision
I've lost it the emotion tried searching too far gone backed up against a wall in chains again mind racing , panicking only freed for a moment air was invigorating wishing I never had a glance

Sunshine
if I take this journey I risk getting lost but I may stumble upon a path never walked before if I become too weary will find a stone to rest upon? or will I carry on with my blooded feet when I come upon that old bridge will I dare walk along it's broken planks? or will I find another way too cross what new dangers lay upon an uncharted road? it is an path I must walk alone
