36/F/American Sometimes when I’m lonely, / Don’t know why, / Keep thinkin’ I won’t be lonely / By and by. / -Langston Hughes
between nightmares and daydreams the day begins again the horizon a glow with sunbeams as the birds bask in them a moment of glory for all to see I can feel it in the ether like it's reaching out to me maybe an angel or a reaper telling me to get up now and face morning sun I know somehow my nightmares will succumb and clear all confusion about what should and shouldn't be there'll be an execution of the demons inside of me and I will go about my way and be warmed by the light it's a new me on a new day conquering the night

lucid dreams
He says I have to share He says I’m not enough My heart I now wear Like a stain on my cuff Like the pulse of my pain Relentlessly pounding Pumping through my veins Until I am drowning But my mind is to blame For sacrificing my soul My heart now a flame Burning a hole Through my being Through my core All my life's meaning Means nothing anymore But this isn't my first bloodfest Though it is a new low for me The stains on my dress Embue my dignity So let me bleed to death Leave me be in this hell Where I'll pay my debts And I'll wish him well

A Slave (rewrite)
he says I have to share he says i'm not enough my heart I now wear like a stain on my cuff like the pulse of my pain relentlessly pounding pumping through my veins until I am drowning but my mind is to blame for sacrificing my soul and truning my heart aflame burning a hole through my being through my core I don't know what I'm seeing yet i've been here before this isn't my first bloodfest but its a new low for me i'm honestly impressed with the deprived creativity so let my heart bleed to death and leave me be in this hell where I'll pay my debts and I'll wish him well

a slave
life is spinning time goes round and round captivating the moments until I am spellbound each day takes me back to where i've been before like some fool always looking for more help me be satisfied help me to grow because i am transfixed with thoughts of tomorrow and what it may bring and how i will react have i learned my lesson? ....highly doubt that i'm just a thread in the fabric of an event horizon i can't see mesmerized by the void of a darkness that's blinding but time keeps teaching me that before it's too late fate will take over and will reiterate that the past lives with the future and the present doesn't exist because i am nothing yet this moment is the catalyst

wormhole
you may break free from these walls but that's not what imprisons you you're just a lost child with many voices to listen to the demons will speak more and more and the more that you tune in the more you'll lose yourself and they will win as time goes on you'll be left to fend for your own and no one will care how you feel when you are alone you know yourself best now you'll be searching for this person one day, you'll look at yourself and find there's nothing worse than your stupid heart do not let it lead the way or you might not be able to let go of your choices until judgement day

self warning
It’s not enough to want I could die trying To find the answers My soul is vying For a better understanding For a clear thought No conclusion’s satisfying But with pain wrought Contemplating the hours Questioning everything I am stifled By what time brings And the inescapable notions Of day and night Yet I try not to overhthink Or self-prophesize But inevitably I do And sometimes i'm right Nightmares become real In this blinding twilight

Inner voice
Monday again The crescendoing alarm rings Ice has overtaken the Earth I dream of spring The car engine turns As the forest winds blow To say goodbye And dance with the snow The season has changed The icy river knows That I follow its path And revel in its shadows Guiding me to reality As the water freely flows Through the valley, under the bridge A path juxtaposed To the bare mountainside Where winter’s breath has spoken The hillside was sliced down A millennia of rock laid open All so I can take this path On my daily routine I see facets in the snowflakes And the waters emerald green Full of twists and turns But the sunrise knows the way Through the mountains and rivers Just like yesterday Except today is Monday And work awaits On this frigid morning I feel the grace

Cold Monday
This moment is quiet This place is heavy I have no control And I am not ready Please prepare me dear lord For the things yet to come Please guide my heart Away from the pain therefrom I am a lost soul Just wandering the road Help me take a breath And put down this load Before I run out of time Before space and time close in on me Help me find peace in the moments Help me be free

Prayer
The universe forgot about me tonight, It swallowed time, then bled out light. I drifted through a waking dream, And caught a glimpse of things unseen. My breath fell down through the dark, A dying star without a spark. If this is life, then what’s the end? I’ve loved the void as foe and friend.

void
I was born to be tested by a world so unkind My greatest efforts bested all my victories fought blind I am weak and tired in the midst of this battle I find All my bullets now fired and my pain now binds These moments together I can't look behind Or confirm whether this is all in my mind Or is the war in everything it continues to remind My life hangs by a string and I am inclined To keep the thread whole to manipulate the twine I know the goal and the glory is mine
