I look behind these eyes,
whole universe is hidden
between your voice, time and days your skin.

I feel behind this skin
all colors that leave me,
between the brightness of your eyes, flowers and your mouth.

I was born human, but my soul is inhumane.
I study my own reflection, wondering just what lies behind my empty stare.
The frailty of a broken mirror, resembling fact and fiction.
When it comes down to it; the barest of the bone, I have no idea what I am trying to tell myself.
I sit within these concrete walls with posters of self-help and flyers for support groups.
It's my first day.
My legs have their own rhythm, my brain's run off course.
I look at every footstep, hoping its not one who knew me in my past life.

Within the daze I find myself in, I start to wander.
Maybe we're all of the same tale, just different characters.
Certain elements to the same story can turn a person back-wards.
We all want the same ending,
but finding our own paths to get there justifies the difference in all of us.
We all want spirits to grant us with light blessings,
a reason into living in this run down reality.
Suddenly, my name is called.

I follow, leaving behind my everlasting steps of freedom into an unknown world.
They tell me what I already know.
It's the good days to die for, the obscene ones are worth living,
but somehow I view opposite.
They tell me in such a cold, unforgiving way.
They tell me to take what they give me and I'll end up creating my own ending.
I start to wander again.
Am I a human or an animal that needs to be put down?
Am I a problem that needs to be controlled?
I want to shed my second skin and dream all the things I never got too.
I want to stop jumping from one side of my soul to the other.

Loving and talking to you is like loving and talking to a blackhole—
useless!
Every breath is a hot mess of wasted gasses.
Every wail is a vain attempt to be heard.
You devour everything
and let go of nothing.
I’ve tried leaving it alone.
I’ve tried letting you go.
But this grudge of mine draws me in,
a will to exhume those white skeletons
in your black closet of a heart.
Pointless;
but I’m caught in your arms
that pull me in to the point of singularity.
I know you’ll rip and tear me to shreds
and then tear those shreds to dust
and dust to particles.
My ghost won’t even be able to escape.
. . . Stay away. . .
. . . Stay away. . .
Maybe someday I’ll watch the massive riptide turn
and become a warm star I wish longingly to orbit.

Cliff top meditations
the sea, she sings to you

The sun,
shadows left
their mark,
as she cut
through
the dark

blue sky sprites
everywhere
dancing
to
mothers
symphony

Drink, drink, drink,
drink it all in
nature is everything!
no dividing line
no in
no out.
Broken
Is not being shattered
Into a million pieces
Broken
Is not being suicidal
Though that certainly is a part
Broken
Isn't when the pieces don't fit
Or you keep trying
But it keeps falling apart
Broken
Means not knowing what to do
With those pieces
Broken
Is being unable to meet people's eyes
Because you don't know what the hell
You're doing there either

Broken
Is 3:40 AM
Looking into the eyes
In the mirror
What do you see?
You don't grow up
You learn to
Lower your cap
Hide your face
Your expression
And
Walk away,
Wordlessly
Comments?
Set them free
And let them be
If it's meant to be
And you both feel it,
It'll be
Comments?

There could be someone
who could change everything
helping us all to see

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of Grey


There could be a call
that wakes us from our sleep
helping us all to see

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of Grey

Everyday I put a moment away
believing this to be true
and as I try to think
through the swirling of the ink
something's surrounding me

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of Grey

There could be a thought
that could change everything
gaining us
strength to see

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of Grey

If I loose my way
through twisting of the day
colours fading away
I know all's not lost
as I start to see

The light in the night
and the darkness in the day
not just one shade of grey
not just one shade of grey
