Simple words of wisdom
Are usually complex riddles.

Simple words of advice
Are usually no help.

Simple words of a song
Are usually meant for someone.

Simple words of a poet
Usually, mean more than you see.

So simple words,
Are never really very simple.
At least for me, they aren't.

This ship
I've sailed for years
Watch it crumble

Watch me land on an island
In the distance
Far from home

There's nothing for miles
But shades of blue
Watch me lose myself

Watch me as I fall
In to deep waters
I can't get out of

I can't do it anymore
I can't breathe anymore
Watch me suffocate

Watch me wail
As I choke on
My own tears

Everything blends together
It is all the same
Watch me let go

Watch me as I sink
To the bottom
I've hit rock bottom
Had this idea for a while.
When the weight on your shoulders becomes too much...
You sink.

Cry me a river
I'll cry you a puddle

Give me a laugh
I'll give you a smile

Toast me to wine
I'll toast you to water

Feed me your deep secrets
I'll feed you my simple words

Pick up roses
I'll pick up thorns

So you can cry me a river
But all I can do

Is cry you a glass
Half empty, half full
When someone gives you their everything, but you can't.
But this is also my way of saying that whatever I do, someone will always do it better.
This also means that people are acting so over the top, so overdramatic and so extreme, while  I'm just sitting here, thinking how irrelevant all this is.

Pax
most of us are lonely
often our pools are too deep and
no one seem to bother swimming in our depths
perhaps it takes a skilled diver to understand
our inner core.

and because we feel too much
we drown ourselves in the pool of
sorrows, dying in self pity.

If you see a girl reading,
And she is lost in that world of words,
Do not get up and bother her,
For you are blocking
Her path of escape
Into a world where people are allowed
More than a few moments of happiness.
So let her stay
Away from this world, we call reality,
Because that may be all she has.
Seriously, do not bother me when I am reading, otherwise, I will burn you alive.
Or I'll drain your body of blood and hang it up somewhere for all to see, kind of like a warning.
Or   I'll poison you with laundry detergent and watch as you throw up blood.
Or I'll just repeatedly slash at you with a butcher's knife until your face becomes unrecognizable.
Or.....if you're a guy, I'll just simply kick you where it hurts the most.
AND if you're a girl, I'll just make your life a living hell - rumours, secrets, drama, you know the usual.
:)
How's that? Too much?

In all things
  there is a bitterness,
  that time tries to hide

In all things
  there is a loneliness,
  coming from inside

In all things
  there is a telling,
  where tomorrow may be shown

In all things
  there is a reckoning
   —where truth and lies atone
