I go round
and round I go.
Prisoner
of my own mind.
Scared to look through
cracks in walls,
afraid of what
I might find.

Freedom with all it’s
colors,
lies behind
the open gate.
Leaving is
not so simple,
as I’m in love
with what I hate.
The desire to change and the struggle to exit the comfort zone.

You told me that you regret being together
And I feel like I should regret it, too
But I don't know how to regret loving you.
I don't know how to regret loving the look of your name in pen
Or the mornings when I woke up to you
Or the days you would stay up till midnight to talk to me when I got home from school
Everyday that I stared at my cellphone waiting for you to reply
Because I just couldn't wait for you to reply
How do I regret loving you?
Even on your bad nights
And I can't believe you're gone
How can I regret you?
I loved you.
Please comment :)

I almost feel vulnerable around you
Your warm arms wrapped around me and your face snuggled in my neck
I feel your every breath, I feel your every heart beat
I hear the whispers you make when you dream
Ironically whenever you're asleep I have the courage to talk to you and when you're awake my words cower on my tongue
I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know the part of me that's hidden
I just want you to hold me, and make me feel vulnerable and loved forever

Do you see the child you were? loved? Teased?
Do you see the adult you are? Responsible? Tired?
Do you see today's society? Disintergrating? Not caring?
Do you see the past, and miss what's gone?
Do you see the future? Is it bright, or bleak?
Do you history repeating itself?
Do you see the chasm between the rich and richer?
Do you see the poor?
Do you hear the politicians lies and promises?
Do you fear tomorrow?
Do you watch the world and think why? What's the point?
Do you self medicate? Drink, take drugs just to ease the pain?
Do you sleep peacefully? Fitfully? Not at all?
Do you fear the day that you realise you could be a part of Armageddon?
I DO.

Grateful
I am
My love
For which
All I was
tryna find
tryna find
Was just
you

Complete.
Isn't...

it seems that my present
Requires your presence
Without you
Life
It is not a present

my present
past
I pray that you're in tomorrow
b/c my life is nothing.. but
sorrow without you

Now you see
I fell in love

My love
All I was
tryna find
tryna find
Was
you

And In time I realized
He was just a road away from you
I found security in his  arms

Love sometimes...

Fear

Oh!
What He was teaching me
The very thought now
sends a shiver down my spine...
the thought!

My heart, I thought he had


he knew that
All I was
tryna find
tryna find
Was Just...
you

He was my excuse
Convinced me Not to follow you

his path

couldn’t include...
My happiness, I can only have
tryna find
tryna find
you...

To have your presence
in my present
You were
an invaluable present

This.

I realized...
after leaving you
I never thought you’d love me again
but

you’ve been right here

waiting for me
to choose to lay with you
tellin me

Searchin...

All I was
tryna find
tryna find
Was
you

When I left Fear
I realized...

My love
always had
Will foreva have
you.
Dearest Peace of Mind,

(Now read it bottom up)
Protect your peace of mind at all costs.

our lives are all lotteries.
a game of chance,
at best.
we have all succumbed to it,
gambled our freewill away.
to those who haven't,
who are still unchained,
it calls
sit down at the table,
let me deal you a hand

read the fine print
young man,
for once you sit,
you may never leave

In the safety of the shade.
The shadow seekers plot their way.
Thread their course, a careful road.
Hiding from the truths they own.
In the darkness, where they rest,
ruffled feathers in the nest.
Afraid to fly
Afraid to soar,
relying on what shun before.
The light that graced,
that first sweet day.
The light that faded, as they aged.
Dulled by structures on the road,
built by men, to be sold.
In their shadows,
now they live,
living off the crumbs they give.
In the shadows,
in the shade.
The shadow seekers find a way.

I want to get out of my skin
  and invent a new sin
I want to break all my bones
  and burn down my home
I want to stare into the windows
  of my soul
And see a sea full of eyes staring
  back at me
I want to escape the weight of
  all the worlds lies
And find the place were monsters
  and madness dance
