American As people, we change too often to have a set bio to describe ourselves.
Empty days Empty nights No more fights Yet, I still fail to see a light at the end of this tunnel The world feels so dark without you

Empty
You are my sun You are the warmth that gives me life And when the night falls I'll always be there Right underneath your glow Blissfully chasing away from the darkness of night

Spring Haiku
Contrary to some belief The Earth is not flat Although, I wish it was like that Cause then I could fall off To escape all the sound But the Earth is round So now, gravity has me Stuck in a cell with see-through walls And all that I tried escaping, is still here I can hear I can see I can feel I can smell I can touch Have I no luck? My act of escape Has only gotten me stuck Living the same life I tried running from But, that's not the problem If I fell off the Earth Yet it still stays the same Maybe I'm the one who needs to change?

Falling Off The Face Of The Earth
Everything is in chaos, but lasting us A split second, you blink your eyes Take a breath Credulous, yet benevolent Mind chasing Awaiting new thoughts, like meteors To explode across your cerebrum Feelings in eardrums From the sounds around you Constant axon arousal Enticingly guides you On the path to feel Alive With an adrenaline skeleton Complex, trying to fit in But really, "who are you?" Because sometimes thoughts succumb Beyond your grasp, and they numb the way you feel And in those moments, we define our ideals Almost Soley based on the bad things Instead of realizing We should not define ourselves for the chaos and chatter we internally ramble on with About half of us Cant mold an identity anyway Cause we don't understand The word is not meant to be What it's said to be Identity's definition Is not definite You see It's more like a clumsy representation Of what you want to be Since you are ever changing With the vibrations of thought Think of identity being more associated with how you adapt To everything thrown your way What defines you is how you display yourself When chaos itself Comes into your life Everyone has strife, cause life is not easy Just don't think you're alone Or have a mental disease

The Chaos Theory
Running, he's at the point of no return He slipped through the barrier The atmosphere tried to hold him back Lacking gravity, his feet float aimlessly for a ground Slowly plunging into the darkness of void, rope in hand Proves to be useless when there is only nothingness around He put himself too far out of reach from another souls now He felt weightlessness Nothingness A rocketman, shooting for the moon In a mood that lacked momentum Now floating, stuck in the darkness of space Realizing it was all a mistake To take a chance on reaching all the way for the moon When everything he ever needed Was in front of him on Earth all along

Weightlessness
As I stand before you today, on Valentines day I can’t help but feel my knees still shake and buckle, when I see that Sparkle light up the center of your beautiful, brown eyes My love for you has never died, I’ve always been head over heels Since the day you ripped off the disguise that kept the insecurities dwelling inside of that mind of yours And I’m sure you’ve heard it come out from my mouth before, but I really do love you Joanna From here, all the way to Savanah Just so you understand that, I’m a man who speaks his love with certainty And I’m no hopeless romantic, but I do understand the semantics of love So it’s spoken above, all as more than just 2 consonants accommodating 2 vowels Love isn’t just about writing vows To be wed for life, through sickness and strife It’s never alright for just these 4 letters, to be the only justification for people like us to stay together There is no universal definition given Although hallmark will tell you different Giving advertisement prescriptions to those experiencing affliction from solitude So rudely turning love into an addiction Completely missing the point of what it means to share yourself with someone else Love was when I saw demons inside of your eyes that you never felt obliged to hide from me Because you saw mine too Right through every facade I built up, consistently falling right back down I always wanted to be around someone I never had to hid a frown from Infatuated with the sound you created, from my heart palpating around you I just knew That what we had was not something superficial It was official, so we made it that way And today, I tell you how much I love you Not only as a lover, but more so as a friend Because time and time again, you never fail to be there for me As far as the eye can see, what we have puts the definition of love to shame In my opinion, it deserves it’s own picture frame

It screams in my head Shaking the walls with an echo Resonating like a wind chime in a tornado But little do they know -- I’ve been deaf for a while now My ears have long been hearing the murmurs of motive So much continuous throwing of ideas Has just become white noise to me, like a rain storm soundtrack It just becomes back drop music, if there's no action to do it So the real question for you is: Do you lack motivation or initiation?

Motivation
I am here and I walk amongst you. And to be honest, I’ve been doing it for quite some time now; watching and observing I am awake within you every time you open your eyes to see the light; and I am also there when they close for the night My spirit lives on, like the cycle of dusk into dawn Tell me how it could not be the epitome of irony, When you see people dedicate their lives praying under a roof to my entity As if I’ve died forever The essence of my being has never left this existence Persistence, persistence, just pray in persistence. Maybe you’ll win this, battle one day That you have within yourself Look to my spirit and nobody else But your blinders are on, and the faith has withdrawn Your faith in my spirit feels completely gone It’s wasted on someone else Please, believe, in the spirt of me, and by the power of a god I will set you free. Can’t you see, from my pleas? I’m trying to put you at ease. I’m saying there's no difference between your spirit and me. My energy, was the same one that came from the stars On the day they exploded making a universe start People say there’s no way, at the end of the day That I can talk to your spirt cause I'll never display myself Just a shelf, is what harbors my truth Lay the bible of lies that was written in sleuth Subjective thoughts that extinguish The search deep within us You stick to what you believe in Cause if you don't, it's called treason To god But don't you think it's odd? You have all these thoughts, that make you naturally maraud? Let me give you the courage To finally see, your treason to God Is treason to me Which is who? It is you You are the God of your life Through death and through strife When you pray to get right You are the person you speak to, when you need hope to believe When you reach a low point and you're down on your knees Getting back to irony Don't you find it funny, That when our spirit is finally free; We credit someone that we can't even see? So believe, believe I exist for you to see Just look in the mirror To see you are me

Face are ambiguous It's not too hard explaining this But there is no real face that fits an objective depression Let it be a lesson Not to judge others by their discretions Silence can be the embodiment for the saddest people of them all People big and people small That minds that stand and the ones that fall We can all relate to the pains of the others around us Yet remain so soundless Never finding commons grounds and, Becoming trapped in a cycle of solitude How could we be so rude? When there are millions of others who suffer the same sorrows as our own Maybe not full blown But at least enough to be known That there is someone out there who relates to our pain Cause it's a stain in our brains That makes us think we're insane We must open up to others And not lead lives that are mundane Everyone carries with them, a face of depression So let it be a lesson That there's no objective face to depression
