Are living within darkness
fighting towards an always distant
light

Hunched over
under the weight
Struggling with being overwhelmed
It's too much

I am in this envelope of Darkness
because
I am certain
I have licked the glue myself

My best friend is powerful,
Constantly holding my hand,
Oh what a friend is for.
When I feel alone,
I am reassured
that in fact,
I am.
Except for my best friend.
Notoriously known for
getting into my head.
Lets me sleep until
the day has passed.
Oh how I prefer to stay home,
with my best friend.

My anxiety is powerful,
Constantly holding my hand,
Oh what anxiety is for.
When I feel alone,
I am reassured,
that in fact,
I am.
Except for my anxiety.
Notoriously known for
getting into my head.
Lets me sleep until
the day has passed.
Oh how I prefer to stay home,
With my anxiety.

Kalypso sports within the waves
luring sailors to watery graves
but if they make it to her isle
there they may tarry for a while.

Food and wine are given a'plenty,
they are rocked into lust so gently,
Nymph, Maidens, Bacchanalian revelry
lead the sailors into darkest devilry.

*** and sin are openly displayed,
a salacious procession, ***** parade,
And all men their vices expressed
seek the comfort of Kalypso's breast,
her hospitality soothes, allays their fears
as she slowly steals away their years.

Stranger, Stranger
Save me today
Please come to me, my love
okay
Stranger, Stranger
For once just stay
It's not fair I'll never get to say

At once some time I've not known you
Yet now we share a bond that's new
A crystallized informality
You've been ingrained into my memory

I saw the somber in your eyes
I could have made you feel alright
I sat silent, composed and shy
You'll never know me, to that I
sigh...
In every stranger...there is one that'll attract a ghost...
I'm complicated
Imperfect
And Insecure
The Gullible
A Troubled one
Emotional
Full of bad thoughts
Not at all cool
A sensitive
Conflicted
Catastrophe
A full story
I'm not unique
Kind of a geek
Sometimes silly
Chatty
Yet Shy
I really try
Sometimes I cry
I know I'll die
Life is no phase
I couldn't lie
Vivid manipulations of
A twisted melody within
The vast deep blue sea
Swallow up your courage
Replace it with confinement
Silencing your power
Snuffing your processing
A roaring living villainy
A complication in the mind
It's all a game the darkness can shine
