25/M/Canada I really love words and sometimes i feel the need to paint a picture with them.
I feel like I'm running But the line's getting further I reach for the sky As i start to fall faster And all of my hopes Are put out to pasture When i reach out to life But keep falling right past her "Don't worry about the ground, Its just rising up to great me. Think about the peace I'll feel, When mother earth gets to eat me Though i tried so very hard That I'm convinced that life did cheat me Here I am just falling... As if she already beat me" So i do away with logic Expel any rational thought Always better at my worst, Oh you must've forgot So bring out Despair And famine and Rot Let them do their worst Before i show what I've got I've lost this fight before But since then I have changed Started speaking with the beast Cause he often seemed so pained Now we fight as one And i have no need to feel ashamed This time I'll be victorious Cause the beast is now unchained

Unchained
Gather around Listen to my voice I bring you news And i bring a choice Some shall lament While others rejoice But a decision will be made When i hear everyones choice The town is in peril The streets filled with chaos People turned meek While others become callous The leaders have met And come up with a plan To rid the town of demons And return the streets to man Either put up the walls Return to the old ways Or survive the demons And live in chaos for all your days The decision is yours So choose wisely The demons are harsh But the old days should not be taken lightly Let the people speak And decide their fate I pray you choose quick Before its too late The town is being overrun At a steady rate So the final decision Will be announced at a later date

The walls 2
Some people rejoice As the walls come down And the sun shines again On a once dark town But for some It is judgment day As the demons of the town Come out to play The atheists plan As the religious pray But it was those same prayers That brought them here today A town with no walls Has no protection As people come and they go With no discretion But maybe now The people will have more satisfaction When the walls come back up At their own suggestion

The Walls
Oh my brother! Bringer of light Made from the fire Oh what a sight Why anger father? Why try to fight? It doesn't matter You will have my might You called to us We answered your call But we had no chance Though we gave it our all We tried to run Some tried to crawl But in the end We caused our fall Oh the fall Oh it was heated Curse the ground By whom we were greeted On earth's throne You were seated But no compensation For how we were treated Our brothers love you Talk of your greatness Follow every command Oh what blindness As for me I'm filled with sadness I should have known Should have seen your madness

An old man stares at his suit of armour, With the weight of the world Upon his shoulders Armour which at one time He wore proudly, Worn down by war and all its horrors He had made a vow To only dawn it, In the darkest of hours And as his world darkened He emerged... Ready to face whatever death conjures

Suit Of Armour
What makes you Want to start a war? What fact of life Absolutely shakes you to the core? Is it maybe The exploitation of the poor? Or that you'll never again Hear extinct beasts roar? As i go through life I am left with one question What will it take For our cancerous existence to see regression? Will it be a massive reduction In our population? Or a global catastrophe Causing planetary evacuation? Maybe its time For such a situation A forced act of unity Being the best choice for such an occasion But in the end What is it all for? Many have died For what we now consider folklore Have we really surpassed Those who came before? Even though we hate natural plants Enough to start a war? The world is truly ****** And there's not much left to do The only ones who will really suffer Are those left after me and you So maybe its time we band together Make the world look spanking new Give hope back to the young youth And to those that already grew

War
Every night many kneel down to pray Praying that they wake up the next day Some just go out and have fun Taking the opposite choice of a nun Either way their day is done Internet lovers still surfing Night time turns into morning Daylight comes for all In some places with a rooster call Days are for all the busy bodies Nights for all those with hobbies Though both are great for tv binges Killing time playing on pc Internet surfing to watch a movie Linking memes to friends Laughing together till the day ends Having fun In an attempt to pass time Making money Sometimes by committing crime Everyone is different Live you own life Free from fake commitment

If you know
Inhale... Accept life as it is It will all get better than this Exhale... Just remember it gets better And biting your lip Will only make your eyes wetter Inhale... No shame in shedding a tear Sometimes life's a burden And gets too hard to bear Exhale... Relax and calm down Think happy thoughts And do away with the frown Just keep breathing And the fire will burn brighter Keep on going You know you're a fighter As long as you fight You'll get stronger And the weight on your shoulders Will get lighter

Calm
Oh man what a day Why'd life have to be so grey? As i lay defeated in bed All i think of is being dead... I go to sleep, And i see some water I take a leap Into the endless river Am I floating up? Or is the sky falling? I can't tell but the dead And the living are calling On one side is my father Arms open and rejoicing On the other is my mother Heartbroken and mourning I am torn and my heart breaks I begin to fall as everything shakes As I fall fast My bed approaches Filled with comfort As darkness encroaches

Not tonight
Finally home My little safe space The only place in the world I can show my true face Not the happy face Smiling at a bright tomorrow But a zombie like expression That shows nothing but sorrow So this is me In all my "glory" Just a "happy guy" With a truly sad story
