*We fight day in and day out
Filling voids we fail to understand
Yet nothing changes
We remain a record on repeat
Like an echo
Nourishing every last emotional strand
Thoughts turn into dreams
Dreams turn into dust
We craft days into a delusion
A delusional repetition
For all the wrong reasons
Not knowing what we have done
We obey
Why do we have no guidance
Through ruins we make home
We become truly alone
An echo isn't as beautiful as it seems
An echo is a lie

***I've bled the blood of a thousand lies
Tasted the feast of her demise***
*I've seen her stripping away from time
Like a dying artists rhyme*
***If it wasn't for the echo of vitality
She would taste an oh bitter reality***
*Oh she, oh she, blessed without judgment
Criticized without budget*
***At last she stalks the shadows no more
It wasn't long ago crept the woman from ground floor***
*All goes without saying ones demeanor
Is a wild poem hiding a message where the grass is greener.*

*The sweet reminiscences of a miracle
Like an echo's last breath, so spiritual*
***So close, yet so far
Always keep your mind ajar
Miracles won't manifest in your palace
Miracles can only help the callous***
*False hearts of stone reach for greater heights
When it takes flesh and bone to taste its delight
All the wrong friends
With all the wrong foes
Transfixes the mind on the black rose
Away from the light, dwelling deep in the dark
Is a mind too early to expect a spark*
***So close, yet so far
Always keep your mind ajar
Miracles won't manifest in your palace
Miracles can only help the callous***

***It's now or never
Time latches hearts together***
*Every lapse of love a man dies
Deep inside these men is a devil in disguise
Love is our fire within*
***How we breath
How we think
How we live***
The heart is where the man begins
***It's now or never
Time latches hearts together
So will you be my love forever?***

*The strain of survival in its most righteous form
Fighting arrogance through a repetitive storm
Day in and day out I pled guilty to incompetence
Bowing to the man who wears a crown of dominance
Seen through his lens of ineffectual views
Is the man of abhorrence yet to pay his dues
The roars of demise are seen as sweet
To the man who is begging for rigorous defeat
The man screams and he shouts for an endless battle
While I stand from afar seeing him beat from his cattle
The man seeks for loyalty in all the wrong places
True colors can't be veiled behind multiple faces*
***Weakened with regret of abusing all his peers
He is forever lost in his home made of tears

on his path to the top*
Is the day he dies.

of your life on someone else,
change will not follow.

***I've had enough, I'm done
Your standards are no fun***
*You're a broken wordsmith
Lost in a world of words
Searching for realization
While your story is unsung
Your screams from mountaintops
Heard only by cowards ears
Your brightest light
Can't catch my darkest hour*
***Good day to you sir
A forever blur***

My heart will not be denied
Soul, body, and mind
I will not be confined
I'll reach for the sky
This, I will live by
***Even after I die
I will be immortal
My words have no goodbyes***

Life descends into the vice of those who judge...
Unconditional opinions give those the nudge...
The nudge into darkness we ride...
Back into the corner we hide...
From those high on life's pleading destruction...
It's hard for us to begin our reconstruction...
People unable to enter society's plains...
Due to the judgmental's menacing claims...
It's time we stop listening to those of scorn...
It's time to know those are the ones truly torn...
For we are all beautiful in our own little ways...
It's time to realise it with no more delays...
