Traveler
On the edge of consciousness
Were slumbering creeps
I climb out the tunnel
Up from a deep sleep

Layers of unrest
Madness and fears
On the outskirts of bad dreams
And all my nightmares

A flash in gray matter
The heart starts to race
Thoughts try to trap me
In fits of dream rage

When my eyes finally open
I shake it all off
Pushing back into forgetfulness
All the battles I've lost
....

enigma
Unsatisfied
Turns to *** and drugs
Just for a temporary high
Corruption and greed
We all just trying to get rich

Poor kid on the side of the road
Not our problem that his got no home
A girl got *****
The ****** is the victim and the girl is to blame

A man goes to church on Sundays
But kicks his kid and swears at his wife  every other day
Daddy abandons his child
It was your mamas fault anyway

He has been cheating all along
Looks her in the eyes and says" I love you", it's all fine cause she'll never know
A teenager is depressed
It's all in your head, take a pill and don't stress
He is friendly to his neighbours
But at home he throws rocks at his helpless dog

If you ask me why I gave up on humanity
This is why
I stare out into a Bob Ross painted sky, drifting in and out of a black and white dream
Watching colors fade away and appear as I open my eyes, the scenes played out in front of me challenge my beliefs
I get lost in the shadows of an evil that seems to dwell, it's trapped too deep inside me to hope for anything
Like a movie playing, I can't seem to tell, which character is the most related to me
I'm an on and off switch trapped in a tornado warning of emotions I can't begin to understand
Stuck between two paralleling lines I can no longer command
I couldn't tell you how fast I'm going or if I'm even really here
And as the paint drys on my life, an unfinished product is my only fear

— The End —
