Desire infiltrates
corrupting love
created by lust
destroying us.

It
is what drowns me
pulls me under
twisting reality
making peace impossible
I control it
as much as it does me
the more I accept it
the more I bleed
I hate it with passion
for choosing me
for taunting and bullying
it out of me
but sometimes life
provokes me
and those times
it feels good
to let my anger free.

There is much to say about waking up
so much it can mean
so vulnerable we were while sleeping
for any waking reality
we might believe.

Beauty lies
soft, gentle disguise
sweet innocence
facade of benevolence.

Breathe, weight, breathe,
wisdom is unfathomable
so the "wise men" they evoke
immunity with their parables
yet truth lies outside of reality
beyond what minds may comprehend
are we merely animals to a scientist?
testing in progress, breathe, wait...breathe.

Have you ever felt like screaming FIRE!
surrounded by those who judge you
but don't know you
what's their problem anyways?
how about those who
pretend to love you
yet abandoned you
their thoughts are somewhere else
it's alright to scream out FIRE!
in those empty rooms
where no one really cares
look past those empty stares
there they go
let them know
you're not living for them
anymore
it's alright to scream out
WHAT THE HELL!
you're the one to wake them up
show them who you really are
you don't have to live behind their bars
it's your turn to live and let them go
to love your life
to live your dreams
be who you are
who you want to be
and life will be yours to live
and life will be yours to love.

Today I dance inside my head
Today I dance for words unsaid
Today I dance and dance again
Me, my words and feelings we spin
And the world will never know
I love to dance
Because outside
I'm just as still
as the background I am in.
