High & Low
Jake Oct 2023
High & low
Taking the good for-granted
Rushing through to the next experience
Keep racing
Till the inevitable fall
Who do we call
Look to the sky
To the only guy who’s always been by your side
A sign appears
Showing he is still here
Remember
What goes up must come down
Living with constant frown
Wishing to return to the true hometown
The land in the sky
Not scared
But not ready to die
Pondering the thought
Lets out a deep sigh
It is you who has set the trap
Immersed in the new world
Taken by misery
Due to the almighty unsolved mystery
Fighting the love stowed upon from the forces above
Once again chasing the sun
Will you only run
Or be the one with the starting gun

Foolin’
Jake Sep 2022
Foolin’
Thinkin’ you thrive
But you barely survive
Fall asleep
Hope to die
Wait I forgot to lie
Wake up to stay
Forced upon another day
Lackin’  on desire
Dreams of burnin’ it all in fire
Am I blind or too high to see
What’s been lost again in me

When you hurt someone
Jake Jul 2021
Reacting poor patterns
Fear driven
Too proud to swallow my pride
Just hoping for a bride
Causing more pain
I’m so vain
Unbalanced brain
The grand escape
Hidden losers cape
These problems you can not just tape
Continues to run
Trying to beat the sun
But these can never be made undone
Time has not only just begun
Fighting to keep someone
Is never truly love
That’s what happens
When you hurt someone

Set her free
Jake Jul 2021
She taught me how to feel
how to trust
how to love
how to be happy
Showed me I could be worth love
She loved me unconditionally
The little things in life are so much bigger than we
Words can truly never describe reality
My mind is my prison
My subconscious my warden
Shoulda woulda coulda
Is what im left with
Full of regret
I will never regret her
She is an absolute angel
Bless her heart
She was a gift from god
So perfect that I thought there had to be a catch
But I was wrong
All I did was hurt her
That was my thanks
For her loving me
My true best friend
I sometimes wished I was never born
But now I only wish for her
Life without her seems unbearable
I guess thats the price I must pay
For I dug the grave
I must lay
Because when you love someone
You set her free

Groove
Jake Jun 2021
Found lost
Amidst the waves
Free of cost
Running down your nose
Reaching the tips of your toes
Shocks shoot up your spine
Reccollect the devine
Smoothly through the grind
Losing control of your mind
Autonomous movement
Incredible Sensations
Upward curve
Swingin’ & swervin’
Nowhere else you can be
Submerged in the moment
Swallowed by energy
Frozen amongst time
Cold Wind blows
Spirit glows

Self destruct
Jake Jun 2021
Too proud to be heard aloud
The ultimate illusion
Admist the confusion
No truth can be found
Feet have never felt the ground
Only fooling soul
Denying hearts eternal goal
Living dead
Trapped in own web
Coward beneath the mask
Morning every task
Internal screams muted
Mind is polluted
Master of destruction
Wears the crown of lies

Forgiveness
Jake Jun 2021
Decisions induce anguish
Alternative forever in Mystery
Relative throughout history
Rather be regretful having made your own choice, soon realizing  it isnt true to your soul,
than spend eternity in wonder

Trust your natural instincts
Character is only truly known by who walks in the shoes
Mistakes Haunting the mind
Falsehood Suffocating the soul
Forced to surrender your power
Rise above
Stay awoken
Never shall it be of pleasure to awake only to see the monster you allowed them to stow upon the world
Carry onward
Responsibility for action taken
Keep livin’
Bumpy roads will not shake us

forgive yourself
dont excuse yourself
Forgive to let go of the weight while still feeling
Hold the guilt absent of consuming shame
Open room to further create
Release all you can
left with all you must bare
Forgive yourself so you can forgive others
Accept yourself so you can accept others
Love yourself so you can love others
Forgive but never forget

Tomorrow
Jake Mar 2021
Demain
Live straight forward
Colossal collasping
Keep onward
Flurries relapsing
Shadows through dawn
Shine protruding
What you may believe
Shall live till tomorrow
Create with care
Breathe in the air
Seldom freightened
Energy heightened
Far from sorrow
Hallow
Never owned
Nor borrowed
Surrender comfort
Paralyzed by choice
Pure rejoice
With persistence
Lost from resistance
Experience builds
Reconcilliation our fate
Freedom awaits
Aprés la chair

Concious life
Jake Mar 2021
Silent spirit
Peaceful Serenity
Universal static
Awoken
Upon chaos
Trials of insanity
Consuming souls
Reinforcing trauma
Repetition
Eternally

Love & Hate
Jake Feb 2021
Why do we hurt
Close your eyes you will see
Emptiness seeking glee
Divine divide
Colliding sides
Burning inside
Waiting to free
Surrender illusion
Remember fusion

Kinship
Jake Feb 2021
Forever floating
Never gloating
Before we fall
Expend it all
Remember then
Look within
Let go
Free flow

Joker
Jake Jan 2021
Perfectly imperfect
Simply complex
Insightful haze
So grounded I may fly
Alive inevitably I will die
Horribly blessed
Beautifully cursed
Blinding dark
Hidden light
In wrong
Comes right
6 or rather 9
In pain blissfully fine
Joy I shall be lost
Irony at worst
Misery when best
Choice an illusion
Defined by they
You are I
Casually defy
Remember to rely
If Lust to win
Lacking trust does you in
Humorous to seek
Dare not speak
In reality you’ll grin

Love
Jake Oct 2020
Broken souls
Floating,
Longing to find
An ancient kind

Wounded mind
Lurking beyond
Journey dawned
Searching space
For what matters most

Learning to feel
Soaring freely
Forces above
Delivered an aligning push
Balance

Connection forms
Guiding one another
Heart to heart
Like a true work of art

The light grows
Alongside desire
Until there is no higher
Our love shall
Fuel the fire

Best friend
Jake Oct 2020
Longing for my best friend
Oh the bestest friend
Is this truly how the story ends
Search for victory
Found power and greed
Such of a different breed
Souls hoping to be free

The land of hurt
Isnt worth
A dime you’ll see
Live and let go
For within me
Spirit filled with glee
Unleash the flood
Throughout my blood
Until it rattles
Commence the battle
Two shades beneath
Blades pierce the sky
Removing I
From the terrible lie

Perfection pretends
Though the fight shall never end
What do you desire?
Build and burn in fire
Created by the servant
Only to slave the master
Irony
Mother nature preached
He must learn
Ideology of existence
In so you can go the distance

Without
Trapped in a shell
Your self created hell
It shall be

Awaken and rise
Before your demise

— The End —
