Moonlit Grove
Harry Roberts Nov 2022
Droplets speckled across thick green leaves,
The moon riding high almost at her peak,
The ground was soft and dewy,
While the grass entwined my feet.

There was  a time when I'd feel the beat below, the steady heart of the Earth.

Breeze wing beaten to my face by the wide wings of the Sky.

My aura was alight with Fire and my Spirit was adrift like flotsam In the Ocean of my Soul.

Felt like I was stranded, salty, searing in the Sun.

Like a tree that has been petrified by lightning.

My mind a forest bowed by gale force wind.

I was raw, undone, unraveled while unravelling more with reckless abandon.

But think of the forest, think of the woods, think of creation and the nature of all things growing.

I need to remember the Moonlit Grove.

Nature so suple, divine and in spaces evergreen,
Life was a simple fragment made wholly meaningful In this moment,
I'm In awe of this complex marriage between living, growing and giving life after your own.

Where the doplets were speckled across thick green leaves,
The moon riding high - climaxingly luminous at her peak.
The ground was soft and dewy in it's rejuvenating embrace
While the grass entwined my feet and the moonlight kissed my face.

Great Old Britain
Harry Roberts Jul 2018
Great Old Britain, What A Joke,
Made Our Wealth Off Of Black People's Backs,
Whips & Lashes, Tongue Tastes Of Ashes.

Ever After War,
We Use Them For More,
While Giving Them Less,
But Ulcers & Stress.

"We Will Deport Their Children." Now That Is An Insult!
Home Office From May To Rudd,
Hostile Environment Now That Is Pure Mud.

They Are Us & We Are Them, They're Are British You're Just Phlegm.

Politicians Just Make Me Spew,
You May Not Care!
But What If That's You?
What If That Mum,
What If That's Gran, I'd Set The Country Alight & Watch As They Ran!

I'd Turn The Streets Into Rage,
We'll Write A New Page,
Begin A New Age,
We'll Set A New Stage.

Wealthy White Corpses,
Buried In Orchards,
Peace Out Of Turmoil,
Released From This Coil.

How Many Faces Do People Want To Wear,
How Many Lies Have You Told When You Swear,
How Many People Would Stand Up & Care,
When Dishonesty Is Life Because Society Isn't Fair.

Caught In A Game Where The Rules Keep On Changing,
They Take Up To Strike But Their Moves They're Feigning,
These People Aren't Human But It's Our Souls They're Staining,
These People Aren't People Its People They're Paining.  

I Call These Animals Ants 'Cause These People Lack A Soul,
They See Us As Worse While We Make The System Whole,
How Many Must Suffer Before They Reach Their Goal,
Austerity's Dust On Our People Like Coal.

Roll Out With Cuts While You Hoard Away Gold,
The Rich Will Get Richer As It's Always Told,
A Waning Grip On Patience Is What We All Hold,
How Brazen These Monster Our Protests Are Bold.

But Nobody Listens 'Till Blood Covers Streets,
& At That Point We're Faced With Defeat,
No One Will Care Until We Make A Stand,
Strength Is In Numbers We Have The Upper Hand.

When I Traversed The Spirit World I Attempted To Wake The Dead.
The Dead Only Slept So On I Did Move, Moving Through The Spirit World.

When I Traversed The Spirit World I Tried To Play With The Fae.
But The Fae Only Dine On Fruit & Red Wine, They Tried To Circle Me To Dance For All Time, But The Dead All Stayed Dead So On I Did Move, Moving Through The Spirit World.

When I Traversed The Spirit World I Was Spotted By It's Demons.
They Hung In Packs, Slobbering For Snacks, Rearing Up To Attack,
But The Fae Fought Them Back, Im Not Their Kin But They Don't Relax.
On I Can Move With The Fae On My Tracks.

First it was lust
Harry Roberts Jul 2014
My legs around his waist,
My mouth embracing his taste,
Our kiss fire-fuelled and chaste,
Moving to an unseen frantic pace,
Pleasure ripe upon his glowing face,
All hesitancy disappears without a trace,
A game of pleasure but it's not a race,
Consideration of clothes treated like lace,
At the point of ****** i break like an overflowing case,
Starfilled vision-until I awake in the heat of his space.

The Beach, Sea and Moon
Harry Roberts Jul 2017
The moon hung high in the sky,
I was floating on waves of affection,
You held me grounded in your arms.

My heart races with something unknown.
The sand was cool beneath my feet,
But wrapped in your arms I was warm.

The ocean sang a song to the moon,
Caught in its rhythm we danced,
We tripped, kissed and laughed at unspoken jokes.
Hearts pounding frantically for each other.

On the beach with you,
Bathed in silver light,
I let love flow through me
Healed and happy in you arms.
Couldn't think of a name but I kind of like this one.

He was...
Harry Roberts Nov 2017
Tired of the hate
Tired of the love
Tired of the heat
I'm tired of this.

All these reasons
But I breath still.
When others left
I stayed still.

Wish I moved
Or lived a life,
Loved a little
Despite the strife.

Loved solidly,
Like my back
Harbouring a knife,
My love harbouring violence.

He dwelled and it grew
In the silence,
In the dark
It grew to be
More than a mark.

He shrunk to be less that Him,
I pray to Light,
That he won't dim.

But too late, it's gone,
Hate won over
Love had lost,
He became what he was made.
Society abscent of the cost.

It's the Heart

My snakes
My jewels
My Heart
How cruel
-
My litany
My deeds
My Heart
Actions prove.

My snakes
Circle in spirals
Circle incessantly
I wonder if they tangle.

My jewels gleam in the dark
Like a shocking white spark
But cold rocks warm
Cold hearts.

My Heart bleeds
I need gauze
To pack the wound
So the blood can pause.

Words mean nothing
It's what we do in the
Morning.
It what we do with warning
And how we hold when
In mourning.

How we hold up the deeds
And work when
Work makes us bleed.
It's about the Heart
Behind the action.

The smile on a pained face,
It's the Heart.

Silver tongue, a man of steel.
My heart was his to steal.
Eyes as warm as the summertime fire.
Eros reignites my burning desire.

Gold eyes and sugary sweet lips.
His velvet hands upon my hips.
My soul alight with intense desire.
He is oxygen fuelling the fire.

Bronze body and a body brawn.
He loves me until dusk and holds me till dawn.
Oh that face, an artist couldn't have drawn.
What a loveable mind that could leave a heart torn.

Darkness Looms & Seeps In Pores,
Body Blistered & Covered In Sores,
Diseases Grow Beyond Natural Laws,
Can't Escape You Are Your Flaws.

Blood Is Burnt & Turned To Ash,
Soul Is Sick It Sticks Like Tar,
Charred Skin Spreads Just Like A Rash,
The Road Is Long The End Is Far.

It Is What It Is & Will Be Just As So,
Stand In The Threshold While Wanting To Go,

Zodiac - Aries
Harry Roberts Aug 2017
Dont overplay your hand,
I'm the type of Aries to
Throw caution to the flames.

Set a fire
And watch it burn
Watch as you learn
Yearn for the heat of my rage
Lust. My love oxidised you to rust.

I blush
I digress
And I rush.
If that's not living
When 100 I'm giving,
Then I'm already lost on forgiving.

When through dust I'm sieving,
Looking for Hope
And for my mind to cope,
Truly lost yet never got the scope.
Looking through a different lense,
Cleanse, forgive and love true friends.

Life's what you shape it,
And I will find form,
Lived in chaos:
Thought before the storm.
Though now no longer
Find myself torn,
In life anew I am reborn.
Trying to channel some Aries.

Phoenix
Harry Roberts Jan 2019
Airing my ire I was born in the fire,
A Phoenix flying higher with wings that never tire,
I wish I could touch but the glory was too much,
It seared my skin and such feathers iridescent in my clutch.

Swallowing pride I won't wallow inside,
All of my life I could never decide,
To live for myself or let my time slide,
A war in the skin where my spirit resides.

Now in my skin I'm not hollow like tin,
More battles to win I won't sink I can swim,
I won't burn in my sin or burden my kin,
My soul will not dim the darkness I rescind.

Gentle Rain
Harry Roberts Jul 2017
The rain gently falls like mist,
Grey sky mysterious and still.
The fresh air scented with rain
Provides comfort and a sense of relief.

The clouds sit quietly,
While the wind blows lazily,
And the world seems happy at rest-
If not contented for the time being.

The world will wake again,
Under light of a new day,
Nourished and replenished
By the waters of gentle rain.
Written while waiting for the train in the misty rain

Kiss
Harry Roberts Jan 2018
Take me down deep
Lullaby me to sleep
In your arms and keep
When the tears of life weep.
       ~Take me in your arms
         Take me with your charms
         Hold me with your calm
         A world held in your palm
-Chanted like a psalm.-
Chances fly like birds
But truth can't capture words
And words can't ever be heard,
Silence becomes one with the herd.
       ~Silence can lull me to sleep
        In his arms true charms
        He can keep,
        Held in heaven
        In his bliss
We won't sever
Or ever miss
Our lips touch
Eternal Kiss.
Passion and love
Blue sky above
Rue dances lost
Cue chances frost

From the first day
Harry Roberts Aug 2014
I'd say his skins Greek but it's just really tanned.
I'd love to love him but love is banned.
I feel my world disappearing like toes through sand.
I'd lay with him on a beach to just hold his hand.
I'd never walk away because my legs would be to weak to stand.

Hotter than summer,
My hearts turned into a drummer.
Beating to the sweet sound of his existence,
It would be a killer to have a love resistance.

With soft blue eyes,
Tell small sweet lies,
That I'm to good for you,
That I can't live without you.

You could do that and so much more,
Beauty like that will always open doors.
You leave me gasping and wanting more,
I'm wanton for you- your sweet *****.

It is you I'll never cause pain,
Life's summer- without you it's rain.
Desire burning hotter than fire,
Velvet soft lips taking me higher.

Spoils of Greed
Harry Roberts Dec 2018
No faith in my country,
No faith in its people,
Idiocy of indoctrination
Free minds made feeble
'Till they follow like sheeple.

It's a cage of misdirection
The information is corrupted,
The people's rage will erupt
But at each other as constructed.

It's a sickly game of monopoly,
Lock you in prison for poverty,
Can't pay your way out then you'll fester in prison,
Awaiting the day 'till some old god has risen.

Attack the unseen and prosper in glee, The vulnerable, the ones who must fight, Attach like a parasite inside raise the Fahrenheit,
They'll either **** you or you'll die by your plight, The spoils of greed & it spreads like a blight.

As arrogant as Zues
Yet you hold no throne.
Ambitious like Apollo
But you hold no light, foresight,
You find yourself blind.

Endless and stormy
You challenge Poseidon,
Endless and Gloomy
You find Heart and Home (Hearth)
In Hades.

Styx couldn't Hate,
Lethe found what was
Left to late.
Caught in the Current
Water burns like Lava.

Demeter couldn't nurture me
How I withered before harvest.
Prosephonie found light in the darkness and led me through.
Hecate told me tales of time and time before Chaos began.
She found a spark where my soul was left essenceless.

Though Styx couldn't cross me,
And remembrance my curse left by Lethe.
I found the light my Goddesses gave me,
And I praise these names
as they continue to save me.

To be continued
Absolutely love Greek mythology.

Crescendo

It's my skin,
It's my body,
It's my right to autonomy,
One voice killed democracy,
Now we function an autocracy.

Voices in crescendo can't drown out hypocrisy,
Masters of misinformation our media of aristocracy,
My Brain is my own & not owned by mediocracy,
If it's about me don't leave it to bureaucracy.

I don't trust the pigs in power,
Fat cats & waxing rats complacent on the 11th hour,
I don't care for your platitudes your words betray your attitudes,
Flowers sent when a life is spent frozen on the streets.

Capitalism found a way to charge the homeless,
People blink but don't think & act so boneless,
A country which allows itself to starve is shameless,
But politician point fingers and have the nerve to act blameless.

Sickening silver shades,
Burst brightly through my shades.
Illuminating him platinum, glistening.
When I cried it was him who was listening.

Now it's he who graces my bed,
Sleeping the sleep of the dead,
I'm stroking brown curls from his head,
My mind fixating on the words he said.

He's not my opposition, sweet was his proposition.
Never have I loved, ****** yes.
Never to be betrothed, ******* away stress.

I'm held tightly, the sun shines brightly.
Warm body against me, hard but welcoming.
Swarm of kisses against my neck, more love coming.

So sick, love deprived, became depraved.
Skin slick, sleep deprived, but I'm saved.
His eyes, absent of lies, he wears suits and ties.
He is a man, no boy.
He is a man, no toy.

Do I tame his fire, drinking down all his desire.
This time love isn't a liar, all he does is take me higher.

His face stirred instant recognition,
Was it precognition, he mutated my cognition.
I'm following a theme tonight :)

If you hold Hate towards

He has a bone,
Not to pick but stick,
He wants me when he's like this
- Tossed out for being ******

He says he loves me
He buries himself inside of me,
I sacrifice my health to help him feel,
in the end I won't heal.

I'll feel ****, pure ***, truly empowered,
Just before I fall and feel *****.
Skin scrubbed in the shower,
Your scent won't leave me.

I wish you wouldn't leave me,
Bet i guess that's all there is
A place to feel loved,
Then leave when you're strong enough.

I wish you wouldn't leave me again,
But I guess that's that
And I'm only comfort.
I still don't wish it wouldn't happen again.

Breathe in my lungs and feel the crush.

But emptiness ensues.
So give me Life, Love And Liberty

Harry Roberts Feb 2019
It pains me to see you so far away,
Like pots in a kiln you're formed from the clay,
You're shaped & reworked until you're not the same,
Transformed completely and fixed in the flame.

Now I feel nothing you're no different from dust,
All of us changed it eroded our trust,
Equal parts blame on either of us,
Toxic for each other do we have it sussed.

We turned from each other won't turn on each other,
Stronger together we learn from each other,
But better apart as we lean on each other,
We're breaking our hearts we're mean to each other.

Life doesn't change it just trades our trials,
People don't learn and lovers become rivals,
Age doesn't teach you can journey for miles,
A broken mosaic we're made up of tiles.

Adonis Part 2
Harry Roberts Aug 2014
He told me he'd call real soon,
Velvet voice creating a teal tune.
Hybrid child of green and blue,
But no envy or depression resides in you.

I'm so lost without
break when he shouts
Tremble when he pouts
Him it's all about.

From a hight I fell
Then down a well
When love did swell
No soul I'd tell.

He left at night-
No morning mourning-
No fading from sight
Just a kiss and a hug right?

No. Ravished till he spent his desire,
So I was the ocean to extinguish his fire,
Then enticed to sleep by Apollos lyre,
In fairness my body was blazed by Vulcan's pyre.
Check out the first one, I felt this poem complimented Adonis, which is why this is Adonis 2

But you can't stop boiling a brew.

Treating life like a show,

Everyone has emotions,
Don't deprive them of their devotions.

Was in toe with sappiness.

But now I see emotions lend passion,
Even though apathy is trend fashion ,

Missing the mistress mare.

For she kept depression in check,
She softened oppressions harsh peck.
Now emotions overlook towers,
Blurred motions mistook my powers.

Intent on a new intention,
Pulled even In a state of suspension,
Wild, lost child, nothing about his life was mild.

But I do not dwell,
On times where I fell,
Not reliving a personal hell,
But my advice I do tell.

Bring pain upon your face,
But you have to rise,
Fly high above petty lies.

Late night- drunk text then you're calling me.
"I'm moving on"- you're stuck still stalling me.
But you can't take your cake and eat it.
Or lay quietly in the grave you made.

You're stuck still trying to claw me into the mud, saw me apart and keep me from feeling whole.

You're struck still,
How I left you stuck still.
Yet I let you **** still.

I quartered my cake and have a bite nightly,
When in your arms I'm held tightly,
I forget to hate you:
I forget that I'm the body you buried beneath a grave.
I still hope: that each other, we will save.
How we carry on doing the same things, caught in a cycle.

Summers Ago
Harry Roberts Jul 2018
Summers ago I remember. All my friends were getting together to have a drink and a BBQ. I Was So Excited! The First Summer Of Secondary School That I Actually Had Friends. The First Summer To Be Spent In The Sun, Not Hiding Behind The Curtains In My Room. Not Curled Up With Misery Or Doom. I packed a bag and got bus fair, I think mum was happy that I wasn't going to be there, not in a mean way, just glad I had some plans for my day.
Enjoying Lady Gaga On The Bus, I Got To Where I Was Going, Then I Call To Confirm The Place & I'm Told I'm Not Going.

Gas Lit and lies, My plans turned to flame and then ash.
I felt gob-smacked, In a way intimately attacked.
I Felt Sick, Apple Hard Heart In My Throat, I Felt Thick, Salt Stinging Eyes Still Afloat.
I Felt Used, Toyed Like A Game and Forgotten.
I stood at that bus stop and swallowed my pain, I stood at that bus stop and waited again, I stood at that bus stop wont sink down the drain, I've held my cards close so close it's insane.
I just wanted some friends, but was left with my brain.

Disloyalty
Harry Roberts Sep 2018
You're Not Even A Wave In My Ocean,
Had To **** Of Love To Leave Devotion,
Isn't Apathy Just An Absence Of Emotion.

I Cannot Raise You,
Man You Are Grown,
Words Do Not Phase You,
Your Seeds Have Been Sown.

I Walked Away 'Cause With You I Was Alone,
I Couldn't Stay Or Endure While You Moan,
I Am Made Stronger Like A Twice Broken Bone,  
All Your Disloyalty Through The Lies Has Shone.

Snakes & Vipers Still In Sight,
Truth Has Shown Betrayals Plight,
In The End I Won't Fight,
I Can Leave & Wave Good Night.

You Can Have Him
He Can Have You,
Together You'll Dim
Until Fate Is Through.

I'd Wish You The Best,
Is My Name On Your Chest,
Nights When You're Lonely,
I Hope You Don't Phone Me.

Metamorphosis
Harry Roberts Aug 2014
I was dedicated,
'Till I levitated,
Then I deviated.

I saw life with new eyes,
The truth hidden by lies,
Empowered by my past tries

This won't be my last try
'Cause I'm held high & I won't cry,
life gets hard but I won't die,
I can't be sad if I don't try.


From the end of a tunnel,
I see I was caught in a funnel
I though it would never end
Nor would my life ever mend.

But I'm better now
No enemies how
I mean people hate
But their timings late.

Any thought they could think-
I thought, reduced me to nought,
But no solace I sought.

Though now I have friends,
"Pain never ends",
Self-fulfilling prophecy mends,
But on life strife depends.

In this world we can't expect peace,
Life's short it's like a lease,
At the end of the day it's what you make it,
You can't expect great if you forsake it.

Wanderer
Harry Roberts Oct 2018
Lonely So Worthless,
A Wanderer Hearthless,
If Home Holds The Heart,
We're All Lacking A Part.

If Houses Made Homes Then We'd Never Cry,
Sleepiness Rouses So One Day We Try,
Hope Held In Hands So The Wings They Can Fly,
Nothing I Knew When The Truth Was Held High.

How We're So Fragile,
We Snap We're Not Agile,
We're Glass & We Shatter,
Despite All That Matters.

If Roads Lead To Riches,
I'd Rip Out My Stitches,
Then Smack All The *******,
Forget All The Snitches.

But That's Not The Story,
The Truth Is More Gory,
Sweat Blood For Some Glory,
Personal **** (.) & I'll ***** Me.

Dead Inside Is The Raw Me,
Instead Of Life It Just Bores Me,
Raw Nothing Better Hit My Core Please,
Bottle Is Empty But He Still Pours Me.

He & His Name Is I,
Reflected The Truth Cannot Lie,
Breath Is Released In A Sigh,
Lonely But I Cannot Cry.

Heist Prt.1
Harry Roberts Jul 2017
Ice
The price,
Double to thrice.

Mice still blind,
Twice across sliced
Bound and Diced.

Heart's heavy carts
Falling to parts,
Full of false starts.

Full of Fool Stars
And dreams
And empty of scars
I crawl from empty bars.

Ice was priced
It doubled then thriced,
In a sorrowful heist

You blinded mice,
Greed doubled twice
When you played the heist.
Cryptic like I like it.

Taste
Harry Roberts Oct 2017
Chewed through your aura
Like liquorice All sorts.
I could taste the darkness
But feel the soft places in you.

I could taste light linger
In you.

You say you're plain evil,
Insane and satans reflection.
I just see a hurt human begging
For affection.

Love and direction,
Can lead a horse to water.
But you need to move
And satisfy dry lips with
A sip.

In order to breathe
And find fire in your breath,
To live you can't leave
You've got to find what's left!

The taste of you
Might leave souls blue.
But Behold - Nothing New,
In me resides the taste in you.
Post night shift. Have a good day.
-Taste-  is about energies, life and living with that.

Fire Burns Still
Harry Roberts Jul 2017
My body burns still,
How could you turn
When I yearn still.

Life is a lesson,
Guess I got to learn still.
Burnt-out but I burn still.

Lust disguises Love
And Hate Sings loudly,
Broke me - like tobacco smoke me.  but you still stand proudly.

You should still love yourself,
Even if I resent every twist and fold,
Before one warms they must feel cold.

But I still love you,
**** it's true I still love you.
Still I walk paths that are new.
Written after a night shift. Love to

Society
Harry Roberts Oct 2017
Seems like when
We were teens the world
Was so wide.

We could explore endless
Commons and swamps,
The world in our grasp.

When did the vice close
And the locks clasp
Closed tight.

The vision and seemingly
World defying imagination,
Got drained away by society's
Machinations.

I Didn't Mean
Harry Roberts Sep 2018
I Didn't Mean To Be ******
I Didn't Mean To Be Hateful,
All The Drugs & What It Took
It's Left Me Here Unstable.
I Didn't Mean To Be Mean
I Didn't Mean To Be Ungrateful,
I Just Know I'm Half Mast
But That Doesn't Mean I'm Unable.

I Didn't Mean To Leave You (.)
But Left You I Did,
I Didn't Mean To Upset You (.)
So Upset So You Hid,
I Didn't Mean What I Meant
I Was Hard Like Cement,
I Didn't Mean To Vent My Spleen
Showed It All The Truths Is Seen.

I Don't Mean To Be Honest
'Cause Honesty Kills,
Ill Now I'm Stable I'm Taking My Pills,
Been Down In The Dumps From Jumping Of Hills,
I Wish To Be Healed & The Mantra Instills.

I've Set Myself Free From The Chains That Were Binding Me,
Written On Walls So The Words
Are Reminding Me,
Healing & Mending In My Mind I Am Finding Me,
The Truth Was So Ugly But Now Its Not Blinding Me.

The Room
Harry Roberts Aug 2018
The Sun Shining Fully We're Dust-Death-Dreadfully,

Sigh It Fitfully The Bully Spitefully,

Switched On The GoalPost I'm ****** Rightfully,

Righteously ******* Up I Flee Frightfully.


Butterfly Baby Still Stuck In The Womb,

Cocoon Can't Break Out Off (.) Life Caught Me To Soon,

Sense Clicks Off (.) Before You Hit Noon,

Chaos In Threads So It's Tangled The Loom.


Words Scream From Paper The Letters Spell Doom,

Written On Walls But You're Stuck In The Room.

Tatters
Harry Roberts Dec 2017
Don't speak on the matter
I found a batter
Spit on the ball
Dissolve into matter.

Don't hold on my hand
Or step on my tail
Loose like some sand
Your bound now to fail.

Mouth 'round my name
Your playing my game,
I brought the flame
So combust into matter.

Saying I'm ****
Your dressed in some tatters
Hum on my ****
In your face till it splatters.
* EXPLICIT CONTENT*
****** and empowering for me. Probably just rude for other hence the caps ^

Make Me A Joke
Harry Roberts Aug 2018
Tickle Them Pink Then I'll Smack Them Back Down,
Tricky Little **** Yeah I Hope That You Drown,
Kick Off The Mound When I Crawl Out The Ground,
Scented The **** So I Hunt Like A Hound.

Make Me A Joke & You'll Pop Like A Coke,
Take A **** From My Bone & Choke From The Smoke,
The Fire Within & Its Glows Through My Skin,
Contest The Conquest Because No One Will Win.

I'm Just A King
But I'll Take My Throne
In My Own Company I'm Not Alone,
Fire I Bring
It's The Fire I've Thrown
I Keep On Burning So I Haven't Grown.

Stone
Harry Roberts Jun 2019
I just do I don't reflect
My feet are moving on cement
I want my toes to taste the sea
I want my soul to climb the tree.

I just smile but I don't mean it
Acting is within my remit
Talk so much make them believe it
Lost my soul I can't retrieve it.

I just do I don't regret
These thoughts all day I can't forget
Consumed inside I'm left alone
I paralyze... I turn to stone.

Respire
Harry Roberts Sep 2017
Respire,
I'm made of Fire.
From the soul
To the flesh.

Then In turn the soil,
Any who breath leave -
A timer, we're set to spoil.
So I won't walk with hesitation.

I'll live life without reservation,
Follow the brick road I chose.
My life's mine not a Gamble
Neither a game i can't lose.

If I chose right
Turn to what's good,
Turn to the light
I won't bruise.

But past hurt
And present optimism fuse.
The futures bright
But only if fate and ourselves
Choose right.

Burn and burn brighter
Learn and become a fighter.

Fire,
Life's Fury fueled
From respiration.
Live and don't burn out
Before expiration.
"Fire in Your Breath"
Couldn't choose a title...
