Walked into the inferno, wishing to walk out a new man
With a new mentality holding my hand
But instead I got burned
The thing I feared most happened
I stayed the same, no longer seeking change
I suffered from the bite of life
Sinking its fangs deeper into my psyche
Forever becoming lost in the tide
My vision is lost, as well as my mind
I wanted to be someone else
Instead I ended up becoming me

Free Mind Mentality

Cruising through life
Enjoying the view
Oh how I would love to view it with you
But you’re not here and that’s okay
Looks like I’m by myself today
Started skipping down the bunny trail
Hands held high, free as can be
No longer holding on to the rails of life
Doing whatever makes them happy
Life is too short to feel ******
Headphones in, head nodding to the beat
Grass creeps between my toes
Shoes no longer imprison my feet
The warmth of the sun keeps my soul at peace
Today isn’t quite what I expected
But I’m glad I got to experience it

Good Drugs and Dead Dreams

Moving slow through the corridor
Saw some guy with a random *****
Excuse me I mean human being
Unknown to my seeing
Continuing my way to an unknown location
Mind wide open, eyes forged in gold
I see the truth
It lies all around me
How did I end up in this party?
How did I arrive?
Did I fly in on a Pegasus?
Perhaps on a griffin, flying through the skies
These people, I do not know them
I sense their pain, being drowned in drugs and alcohol
But this technique shall not show results
A waste of time
They waste their lives
Once having dreams and goals
Now only caring about the next unholy event to show up too
Never amounting to anything, remaining stuck
In this purgatory we remain
I was once a person with aspirations
But now I lie in here with the other rejects
Suffering is my only destination

Be Yourself

Here I stand tall
Leaves blowing in the wind
Searching for purpose
Not knowing my purpose is to exist
Be the best I can be
Show the world who I am
But who am I?
I am me and proud to be
You see me smile, blind to frown behind it
Demons reside inside me
But have no fear, these demons shall find absolution
Find the light
I shall no longer reside in the night
I’m not a god, nor do I wish to be
I am me;
And I’m glad to be

Pocket Full of Daisies

I feel I haven’t written in a couple of days
Probably because my mind has been in a haze
Slowly stopping, coming to an end
Like a car with no business driving on a dead end
My mind is weak, numb, and fragile
I am no longer young, forgiving, and agile
I have grown old
My sanity is breaking
I no longer feel like writing
Perhaps my mind is dying
This whole time I’ve been lying
To myself and to you
To whom my affection reigns true
I can no longer go on
Join me, will you?

Words for the Soul

Love yourself, love one another
Treat everyone as if they’re your sister or brother
Feed your mind with good vibes
Understand the daily grind doesn’t have to be painful
Step outside and let the sunshine become a part of you
This is life, not a revolution
Don’t let the noise of the world pollute you
Feed your mind, feed your soul
Know that silver is just as good as gold

The Quest for Sunlight

How are we supposed to grow?
If the soil we are planted in is tainted and old
We cannot reach for sunlight, for the clouds block the way
Gone from green to grey
Our bodies, once full of life, soon begin to decay
We are a shell of our former being
How did we get this way?
The aid of evil beings are the cause of our dismay
Polluted the soil, blocked out the sun
Told us we do not need these things
To our heads they held their gun
But evil beings are not forever
We shall soon return to ourselves
I hope to be green again one day
To be able to reach for the sun
