In what fashion Should my passion Be put to action? For every time I sway some way A little voice in my head will say "What is the ultimate What is the true way Pointless ventures have no place Keep doing this and your running in place Wasting time Make use of your mind In this race of life You'll be left behind" Hollow and brash I search for the next path Discouraged from the last Until the veracity that once was comes back to be passed See, for me Motivations are fleeting Nothing is ever fun Once you find out the meaning

journey over destination
Love, lust, or appreciation Innocent encounters charged with anticipation A mind coccoons the subject with infatuation Bouts of uncertainty, saturated with elation.

the romance response
Man is made with a hole in his heart It can be filled with many, many things But not all these things fit the part The heart of man is peculiar in its intent Friends, family, women, drugs, money the heart strives to fill the hole with time well spent Good intent or destructive ventures Choices innumerable The pain or contentment is waiting for mans time of leisure Strike while the iron is hot Sit back and let the mind rot Fickle intent focused on the plot Goals set from this point result in a flop

seeds of the soul
The things that I surmise With my wide open eyes Are that I know absolutely nothing of my place in the cosmos And I don't mean to boast but I understand alot more than most     But is this a gift or a curse, an inner voice asks whats the cost? This mind of mine, constantly fixated on the why The constant nagging of the pursuit of truth ticking away with the time Questions often asked come to no finite resolution They just fill my head with paralyzing smog and pollution Should i long to have the splendid peace of the simple fool, no This is my blessing and my burden, and my mind is my tool.

neurosis
Im a calm, cool collected cucumber underneath this fandangled, wiry, wrinkled visage. Ive escaped the clutches of the tangled snare of my image. Where and when I belong and to whom is no matter. I pass by groups and clans and grimace inquisitively at thier chatter. To my ears its an alien clamour of clashing egos and look at me's. They'd all be happier in a lonesome cross legged position enjoying the breeze beneath the trees. With ease I float through my day passionately. Expanding and contracting with the waves of existence. I sway indefinitely. Yield to and renounce the question arisen from the back of the mind "what does it mean to be me"

identity
Theyre trying to stop us They want to see us fail They expect us not to feel The source of our ails "Keep them in the maze" they say "And withhold the truth" "Fill their brains with triviality in the paper and on the news" "This is how we'll ensure they all follow suit"                         I can't see the face of our enemy but I surely feel his breath.     He breathes it through our minds, souls and bodies And wishes for our death

open your eyes
Today i feel poetic as the cool wind chills my soul. These trials in life will make a soul turn cold. Working a life consuming job to obtain that putrid currency. But the wisdom that ive gained will allow me to live a life that will enrich every fiber of my being. This cool wind pierces my brain as i plan for the future. Allowing me to use my wisdom to spread my wisdom for the future. What is a man without knowledge and the will to enlighten indefinitely? A corporate zombie in this cold, mechanically efficient, society. A hollow piece of what a child used to be. A waste of sentience with no curiosity. It doesnt make any sense to me. So when this cold wind blows through my soul I wont let myself grow into a worthless drone. The effects that cause the rest to falter will be the reasons my mentality will conquer.

The Cold Influence
The amount of pain in the brain of a man insane. He tries to do what he should but it proves to be no good. The pressures of human interaction give him an awkward set of roles in this social contraption. Is he a loser, is he a genius, is he a loner, a stoner, a ***** a badass? Everyone tries to fit him in a class. No one feels secure in this skewed world without their false code of unspoken word. The man insane feels he is the only one who has no reason to run from the thoughts that create unease in others, people that think outside the box get killed by the others. He knows this and still lives on knowing hes ridiculed by the status hes drawn. writers block is a ***** when it comes from a woman. and the man that hes become wants to do her no wrong but every move he makes has the effect of a nuclear bomb. he doesnt know how to do right so he writes it in a song and all along she shows him how much he means to her. every time it comes out its news to be heard because while shes breaking his heart and his will hes thinking of her. While he tries and tries but the problems wont subside, he becomes the man insane with nothing to hide but no one to tell that inside he died
