I was asleep, Closed eyes and lost mind Woke up. Still dreaming of the flowing rivers Remembering the unending waterfalls, Into the depth unreaching. Coming up for air, A sweet breath of freadom. The swirling current to strong With hands pushing from above. Splashing in need. There be no sweet breath. No life raft to reach. Feat growing heavy Legs and arms weary The abbility to float lost in the down poar. Wondering... Begging... SCREAMING! But the crashing down of water's to loud. Unable to be heard. Never to be seen again. The drought doesn't come, The dam is never buildt, The sky fills with dark clouds And the rain pours down.

Life is a little mystery, no one can explain. No matter how hard they try, it is all in vane. 'Cause there's always someone who wants to prove you wrong, And they always believe, but not for long. God didn't create this mystery for us to break, For us to understand and for someone else to hate. We were meant to believe, Not as a scientist meant to achieve. You're supposed to enjoy wondering what this might be like, You're supposed to love not knowing, you're supposed to be psyched. And if someone tries to force their thought, Ask them if God wants this to be sought. For life should be a mystery, not knowing what is now, No one figuring out what's happening or how.

mystery of life
A heart is a form of love and affection, Yet it cannot feel a thing. It's supposed to know better then your head, It's supposed to humm and sing. Love comes from the heart, Yet only liquid it sends. But isn't love just What happiness lends? You can only love with poor heart, Yet the heads the one that thinks. Isn't love what you think of someone? Or that's wat says my shrinks! Love isn't what you think, It is what you feel. Yet isn't it your head That makes things seem real? A heart is just a form of living That stops when the head is dead. The term "love comes from the heart" is just a saying Thought up by someone, lying thoughtless in their bed.

heart
Declaration of illness Feeding the korn Seeking for hatred Deny you were born Consoling the madness Refusing the love Being a person You know nothing of Condemning the faithfull Controling the truth Dementing the sanity Jump from a roof Return from the happy Consumed by the sad Hiding the good Libirating the bad Serounded by darkness Protesting the light Retreting from goodness Put up a fight Surviving the rightiousness Leading to just Depriving the evil From hate... I must.

save the evil
There are time when I am scared, Not knowing what I fear. There are times when my heart is broken, But I cannot shed a tear. There are times when I am mad, But I cannot scream a word. There are times when I am glad, But I can't find a reason to smile. There are times when I feel fat, So I go and stuff my face. There are times when I feel empty, So I go and look for space. There are times when I feel ugly, So a mirror becomes my life. There are times I want to heal, So I cut me with a knife. There are times when I want to cry, And all I do is smile. There are times I want to die, And I give myself new life. There are time when I **** the people, And I'm the one that dies. There are times when I hurt myself, And still, I'm the one who cries!

timeless hurt
you did it well the first time the second time you lied. your grabbing arms were short your inviting smile grew grimm you pulled me in with sweetness and spat me out with taste your promise of satisfaction was well planned but short lived wrongfully projected willingly endured you thrill me 'till i'm disgusted play me 'till i'm bored i invite you you detain me i hate you even still i don't feel i critique pleasure enough, for eroding my conscious mind losing my ability to judge on the pathway of your ride!

What is the mightiest thing? you would probably say God But time has more power than a God-times-three-pod! time is the source of everything of life and death and love. you need time to be noticed, time to be seen, time to push and shove. You need time to tell him there is no time to spare Give me time to get to know them There's no time, so do it if you dare! still you say God is mightier then now, then and when and He can tell you everything that happens now and when.. so when will He come for His children? When will he practice his might? nobody knows for certain... probably when the TIME  is right!

Time
the sun sets in me the light filled sky turns dark, fills me it's night. i get lost in the woods that keep me safe. everything so unique.... everything so alone! it becomes quiet when the thunder roars. cloudy sunrise... the sun to shy to show its face. the birds too silent to sing. the mountains sink into the stone cold earth and disappears. it's raining water, flow over me? rivers, heal me? i'm drowning in the flow of life from above. sun, please put your arms of heat around me! if the trees could only bloom... if only my soul could rest... the truth is traveling inside me, but the messenger got lost! lost in the woods where the sun now shines, but drowning in the waters of life.

lost in myself
i saw you at the park and thought you looked divine. i wished that i could meet you and make your people mine. the darkness of your clothes made me realize who i am and thinking of the past made me realize i am ****** i tried to catch up when you didn't answer when i called. i swam the ****** rivers, until the pills made me cold. you refused when i tried to touch you... you walked away when i got close... i chased you with a knife, and you liked the overdose! catching you is not easy, i have ran until i cried but stopping isn't something, i'll try until i die.
