What am I to do
Here? The solution
Actually lies in
Talking about our
Emotions, but that's the
Very thing you
Eternally
Refuse.

**** this half-life, half-light existence;
A weak mockery, reality resistance.
This watered-down version; this decafe taste
This lightless, scentless, barren place.

Colorless, tasteless and poisonous,
Against it all there's no defense.
Encompassing all in shades of Grey,
The approaching walls aren't far away.

Forest green is far from here
Replaced by oceans, gray and clear
And everywhere's a widow's walk
Against the dusk that mocks the clock

Time is a canyon, a chasm, a rift
Filled with thoughts that swirl and sift
The colorless earth splits and sears
Pushing what's lost so far from here.

It is essential to understand the difference
between Voices being used Against Us
From the Voices within Our Minds
that we use against Ourselves

These things I know to be True

Sombro
I’ve passed a little more than time
While I wore my feet to naught
A hundred lives have been and gone
For what I’ve seen as sport

We trace the steps of ages spent
When men were more than fiction
Simple lives and simpler minds
And faith their true addiction

I’m in a place where stories take
The power of the cross
And though the spires may steal my breath
I never felt the loss

For on The Way I took as mine
A shell and wooden limb
And parts of people, gifts so rich
Made my treasures small and slim

I’ve shared myself with men I’ve made
But will never know from there
I don’t feel sad because I knew
It’s not the whom but where

I’ll never find another day that feels the same as this
The time I’ve spent with just the steps; a special kind of bliss
When all there is to fill your head, the rhythm of the road
Your wishes and your broken corpse make light your mind and load

And now I will be much the same
In the before, the now and then
But there’s a trail within my eyes
That leads me back again

Each sunset and each moon reborn
Is on its own Camino
And every way will one day take
Me back to Santiago
A poem I wrote while walking the Santiago de Compostela. If you want my advice, guys, try and walk it if you get the chance, it's incredible.

I am the salmon

The one who got away
crossed my heart with steps so soft-
I'm holding my breath
just to hear them.

Pop another two down
Swallow
Take a good look around
No one saw the
Sorrow
The tears forming
I hold them back
As I wait for two more to kick in

POP
Pop as many as I need to take
I need to be numb
I lie
Say the tears are *fake

I cry
deny
Deny
DENY
Deny I feel anything
I feel NOTHING
Don't look at me
Oh
Now I can't breathe
Must be anxiety

Pop another three
Please...
Pretty little pills
Take this pain away from me
Without you
I feel the truth
#toomuchtohandle
I'm feeling used
Abused
Emotionally consumed

Pop a few more
Starting to pass out
On the bathroom floor
You were my cure
Now I'm disease ridden
I'll never be pure
But these pills keep the tears hidden

Popping all these pills
At least my story's already been written
