20/M I live for the King. (Writing poetry is how I process my struggles with temptation)
Is this the life you really want? Meaningless meeting, awkward proceedings; You cower behind your digital courage In attempt to quench your thirst. Is this the life you really want? Bingeing a liquid just to prohibit: Life, loneliness, and everything From breaking down your door. - Where were you when he hit me? Where were you when he touched me? All these wounds they tear me down And you insist to trust thee? Overdoses, drugs, and *** I'm comatose in my own skin If you really are the vine, Where has your lifeline been each time? I'm reaching out into the darkness Cause grasping sin is more than nothing If you demand my love and trust, Why are you so hesitant to show me something?

Conversation of Conviction
I've got flesh fueled desires That don't fume under fire They stay buried underneath my skin Like dormant geysers; Of sin and rejection I'm busy with my complexion While I'm rotting to the core with ignorant self-deception.

Innocence Lost
An error as my screen fades to darkness, My life around me disappears. But proof of my existence is harnessed In the organs laid in my ears. My drums are interesting instruments They anchor to more than my brain I would rather hear sound so dissonant Than spectate a silent frame. Rejoice! in my perspective so dreary, For my consciousness has been saved. Language and music my theory, In life how love is portrayed.
