American "Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain." / -Joseph Campbell
My mind runs like a waterfall on a stormy night Smooth yet distressed Would anybody remember if i left today would they see that chair missing in the class Does anyone see me now or am i just slowly F  a  d  i  n   g The things to which i hold are are shaking My hans hard grasp sofening What would they say if i was gone today Would they say anything, would they notice? Remembered by the blood, or by the words Remembered by the sight, or the memories Remembered by the Love, or hate Eternal sleep would bring here for after peace Someone to take my non existent place Would i Even be remembered?

Remembered
I step aside from my Blind Eye To look around The windows shattered the candles lit and the walls are full of holes Mirrors are in pieces Ropes are hung and the Knife is ready to go When has it been enough When have i been enough The prejudices of an intellectual mind surround my circumfrance and bring me to tears The words of hurt are lashed out and the Names are called The emotional is to my brain and the physical to my heart I look around and see what i have done The Things i've done , yet sorry is never enough My pain is vague and my eyes are red The curtains closed and the note left to be read I walk along this empty line alone wanted and afraid Scared of the things i've done and of what i may become The dark night hollows the wind shakes My hurt is massive and my clothes drenched The final words of which i wish to say are... Sorry for which i have done.

Sorry...
A name on a list I sit here staring at my ship I can sail away And leave it all behind To a better place, where theyll be clear skies Instead of all these dark times I await the day I drop the pain, all my sorrows insane The only Anker i have left, is being pulled up, till its just another thing thats walked away. Behind i see all memory in front i see serenity but now i see just you and me. Im a word in a book Key on the page Almond in a can Line on a field Mark on a court Flame in a fire Drop in the ocean Cloud in a sky Flake in the snow and most importantly, A Name on Your list

List
Tick, Tock The hands circle the clock. Holding my breathe one, two, three, and four until it gets harder. Chained under the confinement of society unable to breathe pressured by the waters all around me. If i were to stop holding on would anybody know? Im pretty low, so far from shallow. My cries and tears, neither seen nor heard tears mesh with the waters below. Would anybody know? Would they know the pains that happen here, the voices i hear. all the way down here. Would they hear the screams? or the plea for help? Does anybody care, is there anybody there? Ticking is the clock Counting down the time. . .

My Mind Of You
We stand here both in pergatory. My only failure will be my respiratory You're my air You don't even care That without you I gasp I gulp I yearn for oxygen But then again without I'm dead

We have created a vulnerability Too bold to stare down. A thickness in the air, Our lungs cannot share. Between our bodies lies a desire, Between our eyes, a fire. Our hearts, they beat, Rhythms too complex to comprehend-- The impulse. The intrigue. The beauty.

Can we Ride off? Scurry? Wander? Never to be seen Just you Just me and all of our dreams Oh The things we'd see Animals Places And all things in between? Just You Just Me Is all i see Far away, in my dreams.
