Though I should be;
oblivious to the world
I choose to spend
the time awake.
It's silent,
It's dead,
It's nothing.
All excepting that strained figure
hunched in front of their screen.
Like me

It’s a lack of understanding;
between the meaning of words
flowing out of my mouth,
and the ignorance surrounding.

It flies over their head,
It doesn’t pass a thought.
It leaves automatic response
Of robotic, forced out words.

Words are passed
through a world of simplicity.

To change this pattern is,
absurd.
So we move on,

And do the same as yesterday.

To have a voice
In a world of cliches,
Isn’t something of pity.

It is something we’ll remember
years to come from now.

Something of which to aspire,
years to come from now.

To have a voice
In as world of cliches.
Tells you’re thinking of tomorrow.

To sit,
Stay still
Stay quiet;
Is a question of impossible.

Just when we need it most.
Laughs
Jeers,
‘activities’ merely
fill the world around us.

Though all in need is silence.
our own frustration,
anger,
loathing,
becomes much louder than our own.

Peace
Is not the silence,
Or the emptiness of the room.

It is not the obsession
Of an idea or mere,
tradition.

It is not something we look for,
It is not something we crave

It is something we forget
when it’s in our state of being.

The dark waters crash below

As the dark sky floats above me

This darkness that spreads, friend or foe?

It suffocates my soul at sea



The night falls and this grief

has crept into the air

my morals, my stands, my beliefs

Have crumbled in despair



This dark puts tears to my eyes

but thats only part of the cost

This dark converys a message, which lies

the truth; that I have lost



The ones for whom I care

have left me with no hope

I'm trying to hold, but I can't bare

I honestly cannot cope



But this darkness has a cure

a new path to be free

to bring peace to my mind, and pure

serenity within me



This cures not hard to find

It lies under my feet

just one jump; I'll leave behind

The pain, I can't repeat

Today I stand
Today I write,
Lucky to be here today

Today I laugh
Today I cry,
Lucky to be here today

Today we ****
Today we fight,
Thinking we are unlucky

Today we suffer
Today we die,
Thinking we are unlucky

We ignore our cries
We ignore our pleads,
Thinking our luck will run out

We ignore tomorrow
We ignore the world,
Not knowing; our luck won't run out
