The ideas are there,
I should just follow through,
Because so many routes,
Have lead me to you.
The wheels are turning,
But still I don’t move.
Can I do it?
Oh, how I’m longing to know.
Will I make it?
Oh, how I’m longing to go.

Set a goal,
Try to achieve it.
Work real hard,
To succeed it.
Until you get it,
Don’t be done.
Pick a point,
And just run.

There’s always a princess,
Always a prince.
Always a castle,
Been the same since...
Always very,
Far from real.
He’ll pull out a ring,
And then will kneel.
Always the same,
Cliche happy ending.
But did you ever think?
That they were all pretending?

Then they all live,
Sappily ever after.
You

With your designer blinders on
Custom made
      Measured
             Fitted
Secured tightly in place
     With diamond studded screws in each temple.

Proud of your daily ignorance.
Worshiper of indifference.
                      Void
                 Vacant
Cold to the touch
     Revealing the constricted flow of life within.

How do you sleep?

While the rest of the world weeps.

Hopelessly wandering
I am at an impasse
Immobilized by desire
There is no way out.

Freedom awaits me
I can hear it's cries
But I turn a deaf ear
My lover pulls me back.

A hypnotising smile
And tranquillizing touch
Invade my mind
And Control my body.

Liberation will come someday
I can hear freedom cry
Another day I will leave perhaps
Today my lover needs me.

Captured in a conundrum
Intriguing mystery abounds
Captivating me to decipher
Perpetual perplexity.

I hear the screams closing in
Freedom is more persistent
I ready myself to join the calls
But my lover has my hand.

My knees are weak,
My hands are pained.
I feel tired,
Emotionally drained.
I just push myself far.
Not too far I believe,
It’s just that I always,
Overachieve.

I Can

I said I’d pay.
I said I’d handle it.
All of it!
So why can’t I go?!
I’m not asking if you will,
No, I am asking if I can.
