The Mind, hellbent to win Laughs in the face of illusion. For it shall show you the way, No longer shackled by that clouded fog Wretched, cursed, carnivorous, Insatiable, devouring, misery. Succeed in all that you do, No longer blocked from the beating path Defeat is not an option For It that is All-Knowing. To think one may supersede me; No longer the reigning force Who am I, if not mighty, Boasting with a puffed chest? Shall I truly concede to those around me, No longer the dictator of this prison?

Fragility of the Ego
Stumbling through the town, Alone in the night. Violent memories clash around, Enticing for my past sins My body crumbles to nothing, Each grain of ash lifeless

SAVE ME
How stupid of me- I was a fool to think that I could ever mean anything to you. Sorry for wasting your time.

Without thinking
Shadows slink over my shoulder, Whispering in my ear. They tell of promises, Spoken by the wicked night. Black tendrils slowly wrap around me, Around my wrists, and my neck, Squeezing and tightening. I can hardly breathe. Where did I put my candle? My ethereal light in this cascading dark.... But alas- It seems I have no flame left within

Burnt out
Be careful where you step, For the fall will surely **** you. Maneuver your way silently, As to not awake the beast. Be careful where you walk, For the ground will surely crumble. Tread slowly, Since the cracks grow larger. Be confident and sure, For there is no going back. The world has a spotlight on you, One wrong move, and you plummet to your doom.

Walking a tightrope
The clock strikes midnight And my tears stream down. No noise comes out, Body heaving. I try to pinch myself awake, But it is no use. I'm not living in a dream But instead trudging through a nightmare

Sleepless Nights
Trembling lips Shaky hands Pale face Broken eyes Someone save me. Hands reach up from below, Clawing at my skin. I can't breathe. A fire lit within, That cannot be extinguished. I'm going to burn up. Won't anybody save me? Please....

Addiction
The angels weep, And God cries out. The darkness closes in, While the world begins to tremble. Warriors fall from the sky, With broken wings, And shattered dreams. A crimson cloud rains down. It's all my fault- There is no reversing this. Corruption within my soul Cannot be repaired.

Heaven on a landslide
Is this some sort of game? My life in your hands? It's always about you- Never what I want. Locked within my cage And you tossed away the key. Any sign of restraint, And all Hell breaks loose. I hate you, With every fiber of my being. Never forget it. My wrath won't

Puppetmaster
Walking alone In the early morning. Thoughts clash around; While the melodies of birds, Never reach my ears. I am a cold sunrise I am a tranquil storm Staring at my lifeless phone, The scarred screen sullied; No one checking up. I trudge along aimlessly, Contemplating, calculating. I am a cold sunrise I am a tranquil storm The blinding ball of fire Climbs higher, Yet the warmth never reaches. My bare arms become littered With heinous horripilation. I am a cold sunrise I am a tranquil storm The grainy sand Beneath my fumbling feet, Is course with broken shells Poking and prodding, Yet I am numb to the pain. I am a cold sunrise I am a tranquil storm Because a cold sunrise always sets And a tranquil storm destroys without a sound
