Rain
Alex Dec 2018
I love the sound of rain outside when lying in my bed,
The pits and pats and tips and tats do wonders for my head,
A lullaby provided by the sky is all I need,
To wave away another day and plant a sleepy seed,
That tiny splash upon the glass is music to my ears,
As sleep takes hold and dreams unfold until the sun appears.

Askew
Alex Dec 2018
My racing mind leaves me behind at times,  
My crooked thoughts are out of sorts with yours,
I try my best to live while in my prime,
But even things I love can seem like chores.

I'm stifled by the path laid out for me,
Perhaps I should just up and leave it all,
I don't believe in fate or destiny,
So who am I to blame if I should fall?

Sometimes I'm scared to whisper lest I shout,
My ups only exist to fuel my down,
But what if I could tame all of my doubts,
And craft a niche that I could call my own?

Well that might be just what I have to do,
My soul is bright despite it being askew.

Love
Alex Jul 2018
If a picture speaks a thousand words then you're a gallery,
A scripture full of nouns and verbs, a perfect allegory,
By your side is where I wanna be, my ear to your story,
Ignoring all my woes and pains to listen to your glory,
A nectar for my soul, call and baby I will hurry,
I'll listen close my only hope to mitigate your worries,
Abbreviate your doubts and fears, wipe away those pesky tears,
Alleviate your lonely mind, I'll be yours and you'll be mine,
Shining for the world to see, together, just you and me.

Bubble Gum
Alex Apr 2018
I walk with my head down, I've outgrown this town,
I know my way around but it's boring now,
I'm snoring now, ignoring clowns that surround me, how
Do I break out, find some glory now,
See the globe, rewrite my story, develop some clout,
Enveloped by doubt...can't seem to figure it out,
Developed my sound, need to deliver a shout, no fuss, gotta row,
This **** bridge fell in the moat,
Forget a paddle,
I'm still building a boat,
Don't doubt though, I'll break out now, might be slow but expect a ******* as I go,
Not gonna linger, stay sharp like iguana fingers,
Depressed and full of stress, my best is yet to come,
Inhibitions, lack of rest keep my ambitions undone,
My dreams have been oppressed, my soul remains repressed,
But instead of being stunted I'll stun, refuse to just regress

In My Space
Alex Apr 2018
In my space I remain.
Surrounded by the buzzing of technology.
Every night the same.
Lit by the glow of a screen.
Strange as it may seem,
I like it.
The world sleeps while I'm awake.
No background noise, the silence mine to take.
How do I use it?
Do I fill it with music?
Or let idle thoughts be my amusement?
The minutes slip by and hours crawl past.
Sunrise inhibits my fruitless tasks.
And as the birds begin their song, I'll shut my eyes, and dream along.

In My Mind
Alex Apr 2018
The dark thoughts pour in,
Ignoring my protests they bore in, Should be boring by now but they keeping me from snoring,
To my mind I'm imploring,
Drawing from the last of my resources,
Gnawing at my soul leave me restless, breathless with relentless stress,
I'm scoring pretty low on this test I guess.

Her

Her
She was my symphony in a muted world,

The echoes of her melodies are still the most beautiful sounds I know,

And as they fade, so do I

Sipping Poison
Alex Mar 2018
Well I'm so used to melancholy,
don't know how to pause it

It wraps itself around me,
feels like I'm sipping poison

My hands been dealt, don't love myself,
well I guess I have no choice then

Time moved on it left me lost,
I'm yet to catch my moment

Can't seem to  join the rat race,
still feeling like a rodent

Inhibitions hold me back,
can't seem to knock my walls down

My day will come, hold me to that
let's see what date it falls on

Wanderlust
Alex Feb 2018
My wanderlust knows no bounds
Besides the walls of my room

I know adventure awaits
It'll be here soon

I'll hold hands with the sun
And lock eyes with the moon

I'll shed my silence
And don a new tune

I sense that one day
I'll abandon this gloom

But for now I'll sit
Within the walls of my room

— The End —
