22/M/NYC Navigating through life is tough. Much harder than anyone makes it out to be. But here we are, in the present. The past doesn't define us, the future is unknown so lets forge today to be the best we have ever known.
I worked from sun up Blew past midday Day to day the routine stays the same Nights spent alone Wasting away Working to a goal that seems far away But I will not stop Will not give way Those sleepless nights Make my dreams attainable One day

those sleepless nights
as I sit here my mind is in a haze I scribble my notes on paper but the words they fade away I toss it in the trash but wont remember writing it either way I feel like I'm losing my sense of reality but I'm still conscious of myself the time spent in this space moments I indulged seem further back than yesterday thinking again, I hardly remember now even the thoughts I wished to write on this page seem more distant am I trapped in a loop? will time move? can I even move? the door is presented before me an escape from a dark place am I do open it? prepared for what lies ahead? grab my hand and lets see if there is a way

further thoughts
its 2 am far from high noon unlit roads from which I see the full moon time slows as the music plays the inky darkness of night fades away cracks of royal blue streak across the sky from the cliffs I sit and say goodbye welcome the new day with the dawns light in your eyes

slow drive
The journey is far from over Its merely begun Far in the horizon Further than the rising sun Happiness was temporary since the pain had only just begun But I will keep walking Until my job is done

My Path
What kind of fool falls in love with you Knowing you don't love me as I love you The type that lives in his dreams which surprisingly all about you What kind of fool sees only you in his eyes But once open all he can see is the goodbye Its the fool who went into the fray loving you as you moved away What kind of fool loved so hard that you now he sees you in the dark Reaching his hand towards your face then the mist fades away To this day still only loves you knowing you wont think of him anyway

What Kind of Fool
Whats inside I'll never let out The sting of remembrance remains Opened up once so now never again Whats inside is no longer for view So that the new people can't play with it too Whats inside is nothing short of the soul The sounds of my beating hearts remains What remains is torn Broken and worn Black and blue so now I'll tell you too I'll never open up again

What's Inside
You see the slump in my shoulders the way I carry myself the burdens of boulders that threaten my health. When you ask what's wrong I pull up my guard don't want your pity or sad song won't tell you why life's hard. So if you want to know I'll bottle it inside wrap up all remains in a black bow and tell you I'm fine.

Bottled Up
Leaning back in my chair The chilly breeze in the air Window open and the elements rush in Showing me the change within I lean forward looking at time Continues forward, never rewinds I sit back down and drift into space Where only me and my memories remain

As The Decade Ends
I can’t see you anymore Not blind, no eyes closed I can’t see you anymore Retreated to shadows under the sunset glow I won’t see you anymore Taken from my grasp I won’t feel you anymore Your warm embrace that didn’t last

Can’t see you anymore
I do not think of you with love No, you are the deadly sin I think about you and when we touched Not when we laughed Lust not love. To feel your hands dig into my back Was better than any kiss you ever gave me.
