I have carried battles in my chest,
Armor made of weary breath,
Every dawn a call to stand,
Every night a clenched-up hand.
Scars have been my only crown,
Victory weighed my spirit down,
Even triumph tastes of ash,
A fleeting spark, a fading flash.
Now I dream of gentler skies,
Of quiet streams where silence lies,
No more wars to prove my name
Only peace to quench the flame.

I looked within and found a spark,
A quiet flame against the dark,
No need for praise or grand applause
I am enough, just as I was.
The mirror once a place I feared,
Now shows a soul that's grown and cleared,
Each scar, a story, brave and true,
A map of all that I’ve been through.
I speak with kindness to my name,
No longer bound by guilt or shame.
In every breath, I start anew
A promise made, to just be you.
So here I stand, both soft and strong,
Not needing crowds to sing my song.
The journey taught what time can't steal
To trust myself, to love, to heal.

A self betrays
It dances through the maze
A sly saboteur within our core
Destroying dreams we once held dear
It whispers doubt, it fuels our fears
Tempting us with wasted years
A saboteur we cant evade
For in ourselves, its roots are laid
But hope still flickers, a steadfast flame
A chance to rise and break the chain
Embrace our flaws, learn to forgive
And self-sabotage, we shall outlive

In the still of the night
I find myself alone
But I am not afraid
For I have overcome
Depression used to hold me down,
But I have found my way
Through the darkness and the pain
I have found a brighter day
So now I stay up late
With nothing but my thoughts
But I am not alone
For I have fought and I have wrought
A life that's worth living
A life that's full of joy
And though I may be by myself
I know I'm not a lonely boy
For I have learned to love myself
And to find solace in my mind
And now I am free
From the chains that held me confined

The weight of burdens, a heavy shroud
Tugging at my spirit, like a tempest loud
Every step forward feels like a fall
As I stumble through life's endless hall
The road ahead, a winding maze
Where dreams dissolve in a sorrowful haze
Fatigue engulfs my every bone
As I yearn for solace, to be left alone
The stars above, once shining bright
Now flicker weakly in the darkest night
Their distant glow, a mocking tease
Amidst my longing for inner peace
To release this fight
To surrender to the consuming night
To lay down arms and concede defeat
In the embrace of silence, find retreat
For life's trials, are a test
To push us further, to our very best
Though darkness looms, I'll rise anew
Embracing battles, both old and new
I'll cast aside the thoughts of surrender
And find strength within, fierce and tender
For even in moments of doubt and strife
I'll persevere to embrace this precious life

With the pendulum's sweep, my heart did weep
A soul engulfed in darkness keep
Depression's weight, a heavy plight
Concealed the stars, veiled the night
But from the depths, a spark arose
A flame of hope, my spirit chose
With weary steps, I ventured on
To find the dawn where peace was drawn
Alone I stayed, as midnight's guest
Embracing solitude, unrest
The moon, my guide, whispered in light
"There's strength in darkness, just hold tight."
Each lonely night, a battle fought
A testament to strength, I sought
With every breath, I rose anew
Conquering darkness, spirits grew
So let the night befriend your soul
Embrace the hours that make you whole
In solitude, find strength untold
As stars align, let light unfold

I'll be your guide when shadows fall
A protector strong, through it all
From whispered secrets to shared dreams
In this sibling love, forever it gleams
Though paths may differ, and years may pass
Know that my love will forever amass
For you, dear brother, my heart beats true
Forever and always, I'm here for you

In shadows cast, I stand alone
An outcast in a world unknown
Misunderstood, a soul apart
I bear the weight of my wounded heart.
In crowded rooms, I fade away
An echo lost in the disarray.
Invisible threads, they pass me by
A silent tear, my whispered cry.
Yet, in my solitude, I find solace
Embracing uniqueness with fierce promise
For within these depths, a light will shine
A beacon of truth, no longer confined.
Though different paths, we all may tread
I'll wear my outcast cloak with grace, instead
For it's in the margins where I find my might
A symphony of colors, painting my plight.
So let me wander, let me roam
An outcast's spirit, forever my home
For it's in this journey, unbound and free
I embrace my truth and claim my destiny

In realms of dreams, where beauty finds its grace
There dwells a woman with a radiant face.
Her eyes, like sapphire gems, serene and true,
Reflect the depths of an ocean's hue.
Silken tresses, a halo of pure delight,
Whispering tales as they dance in the light.
Cascading waves, in their wild symphony,
Painting a portrait of ethereal beauty.
A gentle breeze, caresses her mane,
Mesmerized by the magic it contains.
With every breath, her essence it weaves
A symphony of passion, a melody that never leaves.
For within this woman's eyes and hair,
Lies a spirit untamed, beyond compare.
Her beauty resonates from deep within,
A reflection of the soul, a realm to begin.
In the tapestry of beauty, she's a masterpiece
A living poem, a vision that won't cease.
May her eyes forever shine, her hair ever flow
A symbol of enchantment, wherever she may go.

Often have dreams been frightful
Seldom are they delightful
Elaborately a world created
Disastrously that world faded
Opening eyes to witness nothings changed
Closing eyes to hide how it's pained
In that moment that was dreamt
What could that dream have meant
The gaze was true as it had been
A dream brought to end
