Through his ribs
Nestled beside her lungs
There what's mine lies
My hand gently holds
This small scarred creature
War torn and timid
From its countless lashes and beatings
I take it and hold it out away from me
Though it's all that's left
All that's still me
My arms aren't mine not time more
My legs belong to some guy not here
And my skin is from everywhere
What once mine now belongs in the ground
Ransomed to shreds by compassion
Scattered on the breeze caring
The thread that holds my sharded form
Are woven from hate, anger and coals of kindled sadness
Strung with despair
I'm so dead but barely alive
Sadly alive and peacelessly dead
My innocence left hand in hand with my soul that fateful day
Along with one other
As Im dragged by my chains back to my cell of this body
I regretfully coax my pet back into its place
Sew it sadly and safely in place
With ignorance and craving
Then seeps back full of my fear and instinct
It's all I got left as I bite clean the thread
Drop it to never return soon
And continue on this grey and rainy night
With only the Quenching sound of my shoes to keep my sanity
The sceptre of servants
Swirls in the night
Leaving wake in the star speckled sky
As plucks for its strikee the stars they fall
One down
two down
three down
Fall They come to the stick of the beaten
It to they bring a poisonous light
Now from me please take this
And bear it with our shameful pride
The cross of the innocent
Bears not the weight to bring down
It ensures chains to make you fly
To soar in the black oil law
So again please take this ire from me  
Bear it as high as go it may
For once it's gone
Another day won't away
For here with you my treasure will stay
Forsake me and just begin
This heart conditioning exercise in futility
The one where no one wins  
Just please
Satisfy this binge
Leaves swirl on the autumn breeze
As the grass waves to the sun
The pond it glistens as a sheet of diamonds
Even after we've jumped in

The birds sing summers song
As the crickets the days make long
From out perch up on this hill
We can see our home and home, where err they may be

Whispered promises of days to come
From the trees so tall they can see it
But when we see for ourselves
At the peak of our mountains climbed, begin

The reeds shooting up through the mirrored pond
As numerous as the flaws on your you
Crossed and crossed and together make new
Don't they know the rules of this life?

Can't get to close to that wood iron fence
The one with no gate to harbour
That massive telestial weight that holds the boarder
Of today's tomorrow past
And yesterday's today to come
Try me and see what I say
Take me and hold me and steal me away
Quite bitter is the fruit though, of which I am wrought
But compared to you, your sweet orchard it's nothing it's not
I'm not so sure anymore
That I'll be able to keep my laws
To keep myself who I want to be
To keep myself who I am
When your right at the gate to my mind
Beckoning for me to leave the virtue of my walls
To leave behind all that
For you
And you know what?
When your right there
just standing there
I'm already on my way to you with the key
Not to let you in
But for you to break me out.
I'm gonna try and live every day with this in mind. " I am here to do something great. I am here to do something of change for others. I will Live every day knowing that my goal isn't to live forever. But to leave behind something that will. Live every day as me best and last. So if I was to drop dead right now. I would be able to look back on my life, and be proud. To have others look back on my life and see hope. Inspiration. Wisdom. Truth. Peace. That they learn from the mistakes I made so they don't have to make the same ones to learn that lesson. I want to live. Die and be remembered and learned from long after im gone. I want my kids and grandkids to be proud to say. "That's my dad!" Or "Yep! That's my grandpa!" If I was to die tonight. I would want to die and be remembered by those I love and those who I'll never know. I want to die remembered."
