I like 10 word poems because it forces you to summarize your thoughts  to the point where you're really only saying what you mean.
Maybe I should try using that same theory in my own life, haha.

A Bottle Full Of Whiskey

He used a bottle full of whiskey
To dull the memories of his past
Knowing that the pain he felt
Would not fit into a glass

As he set there on his barstool
In his eyes I saw regret
He talked about the life he lived
How he wished he had it back

Would drink straight from the bottle
Just to make the numbness last
The story of his lonely life
He would tell to all who ask

He talked about lifes lessons
The mistakes that he had made
Said he lived with regrets
For things he cannot change

Thought the view from the bottle
Would help to make his life more clear
But the bottle got the best of him
And wasted all his years

He used a bottle full of whiskey
To dull the memories of his past
Knowing that the pain he felt
Would not fit into a glass

You say  your not religious
Well neither my friend am I
It was man that made religion
It was Christ that came for us to die

He came to earth with a purpose
And that purpose was to set us free
From the guilt, the sin, the daily shame
All chains of captivity

It was the religious leaders of his day
That used their power as a tool
It was Jesus that came to do away
With all the man made rules

Rules that held the people down
The same as they do today
Invite Jesus into your heart right now
And let freedom have its way

You say your not religious
Well neither my friend am I
It was man that made religion
It was Christ that came for us to die

There's too many battles to fight
They are of my own demise
My downfall, oh god I know i'm only such a sight
And you with your quickly spoken bitter lies

Maybe I don't give a ****
With every heartbeat the tension grows stronger
I feel it, i'm running out of luck
I don't know if I can wait much longer

It's coming forth breaking free
Bursting through my weak jaw
It's not just about me
For us it's the law
Who the **** knows

the angels carry you away
because the devils on his way
you never deserved this life
crying alone every night
you've been acting strong
while everything's been going wrong
And every time you said you’re okay
You looked down and walked away
You fought this battle on your own
Praying every time you’re alone
You needed saving tonight
And for you, the angels would fight

Blood vessels under the skin
No longer able to function
The embodiment of a question
Out in the open
Is this what escape looks like?

Warranted suffering
Easily bruised

Figurative damages

Bring your own therapist
Capsules of personality
Easily fixed

Sing your own reality
Instead of negotiating


Courses in dealing
Fifty five words
Lines of creation
Promises heard

Is this what tyranny is?

Start thinking about
Where you go when you die
Does your soul rest where your coffin is
or is death just a metamorphasis

This is my prayer Lord
I raise to you each new morning
If you'll just carry me
Throughout these many days

For I am weak and I am tired
Life can be a beast of burden
More than ever now I need the strength
Of your Amazing Grace

You are going to have to do this Lord
For I am no longer able
My spirits weakened
My wills the same

I need your hand
In all that I am doing
Lord, please hold and guide me
In your Amazing Grace

Amazing grace
A sound that's never sweeter

Amazing Love
You've set aside for me

Taking my place
That love is ever deeper

Amazing Love, Amazing Grace

People supposedly fear
what they do not know.
It makes me question
as to why people
also fear
the truth.
         As if it
         shouldn't be
  *spoken.
Random thought I had yesterday.
