20/M Just a newbie trying this out ...
Unfair, biased, wrong from the start Breaking the foundation before it falls apart Written in this book of rules and regulations Is only a system meant for you to fail Like an ever shifting labyrinth, no way is right No step is secure on a floor thin as ice When walking on a string, there is no good side You can go nowhere swimming against the tide Show me the way, give me the map I’ll beat every obstacle, break every wall Filling the road are landmines and ***** traps The bottom of the pit is always where you’ll fall There must be a way, where is the loophole? There is no such thing as perfection One cannot escape when all the gaps have been filled An ever changing maze, I cannot control Why is it so hard? Why is it this way? Why run me in patterns like a hand woven quilt? No words can explain, not much can be said One cannot break obstacles another has built A bit of help is enough, a hint is all I need After all, hard work always pays its dues Show me where to start and i’ll get to the prize But a sheep can’t be a bird no matter how hard it tries A map is what you want to see A loophole, what you hope to find# A hint is all you say you need But a step you can never take I’m a blind judge in whose courtroom you’ll always fail A maze in which there is no exit A world of confusion void of justice Because unfair, biased, and wrong she rendered my scale.

The Scale
Trust, is it all that is needed? To others I was lost or far away, While really I was focused Focused on a quest to comprehend this journey Oh this journey This bittersweet adventure As beautiful as a violin’s chord But as sharp as a double edged sword Confident I entered the boat Riding down this endless river of diverging scenery Constantly trying to find explanation Never capturing a clear picture Always changing direction Melodic waves endlessly heaving A sleepless dog never finding position Interweaving boundaries of peace and havoc How long would it last? Confusion was all that reigned Infinite conjectures of a pleading mind Is this a movie void of a cast? Persisting through this river Though the scenery now mundane Only one thought has remained Why dont you jump? Could it be fear? What if taking the leap was all it took? All needed to decipher this puzzle Why sail with no destination? It truly would be too easy Risking it all without a bust Either acid or water Love, one simply cannot trust

Leap
Frozen, frozen i stood in space Embarking on a  journey unprepared With a heart quickly changing pace How could this be? How was I rendered impaired? Questions, a million questions ran through my head Trapped in plethora of thoughts with nowhere to flee They say before you die your life flashes before your eyes But I was well alive and no blood was being shed Instead it ran through my veins like an unchained greyhound Racing an endless track trying to catch a prize How could this be? Is this a dream? Am I in bed? To which reality am I bound? Silence, silence was all that prevailed Like an operation room with a surgeon about to incise Immobile exteriorly, erupting interiorly With a flood of emotions my body was assailed Warm and cold, fast and slow, ennemies and allies How could this be? Could a drug have hindered my movements? Is this all a hallucination? What substance could cause such a rush? What dream could cause such palpation? So there i was, filled with thoughts to amaze Confused, uncertain, my body leading me astray Ready to quit, with a stomach light as hay There could only be one explanation Frozen, frozen I was, by her gaze...

How could this be?
Safety, oh how i embrace your presence Keeping me guarded and secure Shielded from insecurities, shielded from pain Keeping evil at the other side of the fence You were there for me always through this roller coaster My appreciation for you goes without merit Without you I would lose more than I would gain At my worst, you did the fighting, At my best you remained close Your loyalty goes beyond what I can imagine But every cloud has a silver lining A friend I thought you were, but oh was I a fool Blinded and confused, i was tricked by your comfort Not seeing that your protection was in fact prison Like chemotherapy what you are is a drastic cure Not only fighting the bad, but instead killing it all Constantly acquainted with emptiness and solitude Never opening a door, you’ve always kept me in the hall How could i have been so clueless and subdued Putting unconditional trust in your methods You say you’ve kept me from suffering But you also kept me from the beauty the world was offering As time went by you rendered me careless Staying in endless wander, never listening to my heart’s call Robbing me while making me think you were cleaning the mess Making emptiness my new reality, you’ve kept me behind a wall I’ve realized that you were nothing but a hypocrite You’ve not protected me from love but instead kept me away from it Keeping me numb from the beauty of sacred bond Oh safety, you’re driving me down a purposeless road To feeling’s knock you kept me unable to respond Thanks to my foolishness you now control the car You’re a liar, a deceiver, only hurt you have bestowed So you may have won the battle,  but I will win this war
