Wasteland
Sammie Aug 2015
Isolation in the barren wasteland
Breathing dust
Exhaling oxygen
Running low
Exhaustion setting in

The Enemy
Sammie Aug 2015
Your heart gets heavy and you say lets do it again
Unable to raise a white flag to your good friend
your mind continues its destruction from within

Excessive thoughts and troublesome plights the enemy continues its rampage through the night
Strength unbearable impossible to fight
Incarcerating you to the prison that is your mind

Independence
Sammie Aug 2015
We grew up in an era changing
with technology and opportunities full
of growing suicidal thoughts and new perspectives
The struggle for independence
as self thought fills our minds
we ask how can we be ourselves
when everyone expects us to be
someone else

Diffusion
Sammie Aug 2015
We range from mindful decision to mindless diffusion
Marching in step to others' lives
Stray from the path and follow a new storyline
Write your book creating your own demise

Standards
Sammie Aug 2015
What have I come to be?
Living by predetermined standards
Set by people other than me
What will I come to see?
Myself through the eyes of the ungrateful breed

What will I proceed to be?
Forgetting the standards set by greed
Living a life only I foresee
What have I yet to perceive?
A kindred untouched by the hateful seed

Still
Sammie Aug 2015
My breath gets caught
hands shake
Everything feels as if it's collapsing
and in realizing it was only me
The world still
as it was
I feel *small

Collide
Sammie Aug 2015
The road is my hell and my escape
My savior and my pain
Thoughts of death take over as I control the wheel
on the path of my very existence

The passenger seat
with the power in someone else's hands
Comfort is found
in the world making itself known

Yet true wonder is acquired when the two collide

Paradox
Sammie Aug 2015
Our minds are a constant paradox
Disagreeing with themselves
Pulling on opposite ends
Refusing to cooperate

Our souls are constant reminders
The fire inside dances
Feeling returns
Meaning through it all

Our souls remain.

Best Friend to Worst Enemy
Sammie Feb 2015
I'm dragging myself down
Energy on low
Sleep becoming my enemy
As my dreams tire me so

Life is Like a Line
Sammie Feb 2015
Change a lines width and it's still a line
The same is with life
Changes will occur
Life will still be life
And
You will still be you

Moving Forward
Sammie Feb 2015
Do I let myself go?
Jump in the sea?
Dive to the floor?
And see where this will lead?

Trapped
Sammie Feb 2015
Trapped inside my head
I find no reason to breathe
until I see something that reminds me of what
I could be

Prison
Sammie Feb 2015
Disconnected
Fading
I'm watching from a world away
Trapped inside the prison that is myself

I'm Gray Today
Sammie Feb 2015
I watch and turn and feel what's real inside
its nothing but gray
no black or white
only numb thoughts as I fade away
while the laughter surrounds me

— The End —
