We all have that one feeling.

Lost at sea, in mind,
Desperate to shape the hidden design,
A pattern puzzled for play or for preview,
A sudden desire to find the missing clue.

Some see a treasure chest, and others see a tropical forest,
There is so much WORLD out there, an adventurers fortress,
Such a distant realm, yet it's also so close,
An addictive game to play, but we don't want to overdose.

I could get stabbed in front of a crowd of people and everyone would act as though they were blind.

I trip and fall in front of a crowd of blind people, and everyone would act as though they could see.

*The difference is that the blind are much more likely to help me.

This isn't about religion but acknowledge good, bad, & "you".

Let's rephrase them as:

Soul
Sin
&
"Self"

There are three soldiers.
One looking forward,
One looking backward,
And "One" looking Up.

Soul stared ahead and exclaimed, I can't see the end.
Sin sighed, I see where we left, but there is no answer.
Self stated, "The sun will go down soon. We need to find safety."

As the three wandered this long and wide path, surrounded by large amounts of wildlife and nature, they saw no place that they all deemed safe to rest.

This led them to their argument.

Soul, We should rest forward, in the fields, vulnerable, but free. No one would think to check the most obvious area.

Sin, No one will have to check. That would be handing ourselves over. We should hang back, in the jungles. We will have to be vigilant, but we will blend in.

Self, "Both are bad. Both certify our death. One makes us an easy target to the main enemy. The second one makes us a target to many enemies. We should follow the stars. The brightest star will lead the way before dawn. We will be victorious, but only if we keep our head up."  



Why did they all die in the end?

This story starts,
Underneath
I look in the puddle underneath my feet
I see
A portal into another dimension
To walk
Is to breathe
Falling forward ever after
A story like a rapture
Awake
For my sake
Is how the story goes to make
My soul starts to shake
I know
To appreciate
For the ending has to show
And oh, I fold
The strings of fate to take the place
Of destiny
It's the only way I'll see
The golden warning
Forcing distant tension
A movie in immersion
Facing the ceiling when it ends
A looping limbo all over again

I felt a drop inside my gut
I smell the rot not far from me
If weight could slice, well I'd be cut
This toxic feeling's surrounding
As hard this feelings of to rid
The setting it makes is much worse
No one will listen to the weak
A fallen evil fated curse
A distant whisper in my ear
I feel something is going wrong
Nowhere to run, no safety near,
This suffering is way too long

One
i want to scream
Cry
Lose my mind
Shout out my whys
And to feel free
Fly up and fall out from the sky
Don't need saving
Won't see me
i'm up way too high
Although it's scary I have my own little light
Sometimes it is so strange
And to that, i can sigh
cause, i may be a lost one, but that too is fine

Shadow figures latch aboard
A roller coaster in the wind
A sudden stop, an abrupt plot
A sly smile drenching with sin
The lights are gone, wave off your mind
Blackout and dazed, now that's a sign
It's Deja vú forming again
When will we know when this will end
