I'm afraid of the underlying whisper
Threatening me
Haunting my every thought
What would happen if...
No... Not yet...

Crow? Why are you afraid?
I fear my wings may fail me
The soul relying on me
Lost to wonder in the sea of lost souls

Her tragedy a mystery
Her sorrowful love
Mourning her for all his days
Letting the Raven feed on his carrion

Please, guide my wings
So I might never fail
To keep her soul safe
So she may see her love again

Teach me wisdom
Scold my pride
Lift my head
And tell me why
Knowledge isn't everything
You say with a sigh
Be the person you need to be
But don't explain why
For you to be happy
Accept yourself
And forget what others perceive
The only person who needs your approval
Is the person you don't want to leave

I hate the way things are right now
A never ending cycle of torment
Just a little farther, I push myself
Lying because I'm too afraid to give up

How much more do I need to go
How much father can I go
Before it's too late
And I'm completely broken

I don't know what happened
To my innocent childhood days
I used to be so happy
I've come such a long ways

Now I'm lost
No direction to turn
The lights now dimmed
Disappear without a trace

Let the circle be undone
Stop pacing back and forth
Revolt against the ruts of your everyday life
What is worth the trouble
Should not be your life undone

Stick to the happy things
Your child's laughter
A simple opera here and there
The orchestra of the wind blowing in the trees
The warmth of your blanket

Enjoy the little things as they come
As few as they are
Step by step
Things will become as they began
With the simplicity of happiness

don't look me in the eyes
it's pretty scary in there,
it's where i keep everything
that's not considered
''acceptable''
all the hate
and all the love
and everything
i'm too scared to say
out loud
so beware
you might find things
that you
don't wanna see

The burn

of the smoldering

embers of deceit

is eternal.

I'm tired of beauty
incessantly meddling in my affairs

luring me to venture outside myself
revealing hidden radiance within

disguising life's dismal undercurrent
reducing it to a superficial veneer

randomly appearing by surprise
stubbornly eliciting a smile

performing alchemy on the mundane
dousing my awareness in the elixir of life

beauty...
the pulchritude of spirit...that's all it is...

Things not going well now
I'm ready to crack
Satan himself
Laughs at my back

Waiting and hoping
The pressure will take
I'll say something awful
Like God is a fake

That's how he gets started
How he gets in
Turns you against God
And welcomes you in

I'm not that foolish
Sometimes I'm bothered
But he'll never deny me
The love of my Father

I'd love to see the world form a whole new view
Where the flowers bloomed and the trees grew
Where everything had color
Never washed out by the rain
Everyone smiled
And didn't feel pain
Because it seems as though we are more focused on sadness then our happiness
As though we'd rather hurt than to feel warmth
And maybe it's because it's more comforting to feel lonely
Because being happy would be too good to be true
But if we live like this everyday
We will put ourselves away
And won't come out
To see the light
And feel something more then a cold night
Stuck in darkness for life
So if we have a day where no tears need to drop
Maybe life won't be so tough
