For So Long, Yet.
Zach Jan 2022
For so long I felt so lost, and yet I was simply refusing to see straight
For So long I felt hopeless, and yet I couldn’t accept that I could help myself.
For So long I felt alone, and yet I never truly was alone.
For so long I felt unloved, and yet I have so many forms of love around me unconditional.
For so long I was unhappy, and yet I was hiding it behind a broken smile.
For so long I thought I needed her, and yet she was the reason I was drowning.
For So long I thought no one could love me, and yet I never let anyone try.
For so long I wonder why anyone would ever love me, and yet to the world I am me.
For so long I questioned how life came to be, and yet every day I saw the lies and deceit
For so long I felt trapped every day, and yet I was so close to escape.
For so long I hinged my self-worth on one person, and yet that person was not “I”
For so long I questioned why I was a horrible person, and yet my actions were not mine alone.
For so long I thought life could only advance with her, and yet I never noticed she was the anchor to my sadness stopping me from moving forward.
For so long I was stuck, and yet you came along.
For so long I never understood how anyone could love me, and yet you looked beyond my “fake self image” and saw the real me.
For so long I pushed anyone away, and yet I let you in.
For so long I questioned “Why Did I let her in” and yet, letting her in set me free.
For so long I was trapped in a Illusion, and yet now I am free.
For so long I justified my own negative ways that were drilled into my head by someone who only cared about themselves, and yet this is only because I had a loving heart.
For so long I asked for a bit of light to guide me freely, and yet that light never came.
For so long I asked for it to work, and yet it never did.
For so long I asked for a door, and yet it was there all along.
For so long I was trapped by nothing more than thoughts and yet the exit was right there.
For so long I let myself be bound to someone, and yet they never deserved it
For so long I wished to be free, and yet I always was.
For so long is nothing now, and yet it was everything.
Everything is now clear, such as reflecting mirror.
Life has a meaning, but is still unclear.
The answer wasn’t I, the answer was You.
I asked for a sign and I received it, just not in the way I thought I would.
In one night, everything changed. And sailed away like a cruise ship departing.
In one instance the door opened, and yet… It can not be closed.
You, gave me what I needed even if you can’t see that.
I love you, though love is just a word. I can never repay you for how you helped me to see me for who I am and not the illusion of hate I was drowning in.

What you see?
Zach Mar 2018
My darkness that escapes, is not but a reflection of myself, nor the feelings I hide away. The light that shines through and illuminates my words, though dim and fading is the same as it always has been. It's a eternal light, always present. The darkness will never be unfolded yet from the words I spew. My charade is the event you'll never see.

Angel In The Dark
Zach Jan 2018
At the end of the horizon, you stand upon the hill. I hear your call, it pulls me further. Your wings block the light, like a setting moon. Even so far, your hand is out, weary traveler, won't you rest your head it's time to sleep the journey from your eyes. Ever closer, the lights glare fades ever more. Oh how beautifuil the sight is, a safe haven for the departed. The journey is nearly over, the light is all but gone, the sun has faded, the dark has risen. The hill is but a climb away, a journey once long lived is completed. At the top, you stand tall, magnificent in your light. Her hand still extended afar, for the weary it's time to rest. Hand to hand, the journey is finished. The light is gone, the darkness only held back by the warmth of the angels embrace. My eyes are heavy, my body grows weak, the air grows cold, the warmth is gone, weary traveler, it's time to rest. You swept the light from my eyes, you guided me to the dark. All to late, did I notice, you swept it all away. You hold me tight, your wings are gone but a smile remains onnyour face. All to late did i notice, the meaning behind it all. My desire was all but my demise.

Silent To Long
Zach Jan 2018
Silence is a virtue.
Silence is a curse
Held by insecurities, envy brews below.
A heart born of hate.
Looking back, the mirror is cracked.
You've run far to long
Your heart is all but gone.
Misery is your friend.
Misery is your lie.
Can the heart be ripped from your hate?
Just a short made while driving.

Every Morning (The Cycle)
Zach Dec 2017
Every morning is a struggle to lift myself up.
Every morning my breaths take so much more.
Every day the light hits my face, I shield my heart.
Every afternoon I stare at the clocks hand, watching the seconds tick away.
Every evening I watch my heartbeats become but a grain of sand in this hourglass.
Every night I stare at my life from afar.
Every night I watch it all become a blur.
Every night, I watch the vicious cycle never end.
Yet, every morning I pick myself back up again.
Every morning I tell myself it's okay once more.
Every morning I smile once more.
Every morning, is worth the next day.
Every morning, the cycle breaks only to be made anew once more.
Every morning, I once was weak but now I've grown.
Every morning, my own weakness is my greatest foe.
Yet, Every day... Life is worth so much more~

Time~
Zach Dec 2017
Time is but a illusion to our eyes.
Time is but a single entity in our lives.
Time is eternal, yet disappears in a single instance.
Time is the very variable of our existence.
Time is but a dream, hidden within us all.
Time, is something I lack.
Time is but a illusion I chase.
Time is what I beg for.
Time is what I hope for.
Time is what I love.
Time is what I hate.
Time, is my enemy.
Time, is my friend.
Time is the war inside my head.
Time is the reason I smile.
Time is the reason I cry.
Time... I beg you to be kind.
Time... I wish you could be mine.
Time, please don't let end, don't let it slip to the darkness.
Time, is but a word with you in my life
Time has given me you.
Time, let me be now.
Time... Don't take me yet.
Time... You have finally brought me a end, I can stop running.

— The End —
