I find myself staring into space
contemplating assumption of the unknown
A whisper within and my awareness extends
another aspect of my identity has shown

The unknown is not a lie it is simply unknown
Like the truth behind the eyes of a lover
Exclusively yours to cherish or deplore
-That is-
When ultimately the conclusions are discovered

Yet I can't help but believe that science deceives
And emptiness and nothing are lies
The only measurement of success is lost to death
For we are compelled by existence to strive

The ladder of evolution distorts our sights
From limited to limitless we climb by night
A simpleton above, a genius below
We are only limited by what we think we know

The mind may lie but the spirit knows
In dreams I've seen my lives of old
Imprinted attributes of all that I am
Angels, demons, lions and lambs

- In conclusion-
Beyond truth no question remains
Living and dying are one and the same...

Don't Let Go

We listen to the evening news
Hear things we can't believe
Get up and change the channel
And pretend we didn't see

The events unfold around us
And we lock ourselves inside
Thinking that behind closed doors
It won't effect our lives

We watch as others struggle
And turn the other way
Tell ourselves someone else
Will come and save the day

Just when did we stop caring
No longer lend a hand
Forget to show compassion
The love for fellow man

What happened to forgiveness
Where did the pride of giving go
We must find a way to turn back time
And make sure we don't let go

Don't Let Go

Carl Joseph Roberts

I want to unzip my mind,
To let the
Voices
Echoes
Thoughts
Bleed out, too crowded,
I wanted to scream but they
Would follow suit,
And my mind was a
Echo chamber,
Screams,
Cries,
Frightened,
Voices lost in a
Crowd
I need to open up
I wished each to leave
So a blade used
Cut
Bleed
Silence
Those with in
I scalp my brow, nerves scream,
"But I will be free"
As I bleed
A skull I see,
Voices quietening
I hear my voice,
But it asks
"What have you done"
It was them wishing for release
I bleed upon the  floor
As voices
Laugh,
Chuckle,
Silence,
Ensues, as they got what they want
I lie bleeding
"Screaming"
And this time its my voice
I hear screaming out...

I am thought
Energy,
That travels
Upon a
Wire,
Of nerves
That is outdated
As like the dinosaurs,
But thought is pure
It is
Electric,
There will be a time
When there is no need for
Flesh,
&
Bone,
When thought will
Be as is meant to be
Energy
=
Thought
=
Existence
On a level where distance
Is like energy
But as a single thought,
We will travel
By thought alone,
See things
Unimagined,
But only comprehended
When we release the
Flesh,
And be what evolution grants,
What has pushed the
Boundaries,
Limits,
Sights,
I am Energy, I am Everywhere,
I am *Thought.

It's moments like these

moments of exhaustion
moments of sullen solitude
moments of wondering what the point of moving forward is...

When I don't have the energy or motivation
Moments that I can't be strong

that I have you
I have this outlet

you be strong for me when I cannot
I will do the same for you one day

Namaste
