Give you a hug now
Pick me a flower
Take me to the mall
to shower you with attention
I'm broke. That's a given.
I'll disuade you if you listen.
So I won't talk, or mumble
Underneath my breadth.

I've been smokin'
like charcoal
Or cherry wood
On cherry pie
In reality
I'm on fire
And not in a good way,
Engulfed in flame,
And I just can't get away.

Please, be a lighthouse,
Guiding me to safety
As it storms.

I'm tired of not knowing
Where I'm going.
The horizon's formed by fog.

My ship, full of treasure,
Is worth nothing
If I never reach the shore.
I can't find a purpose. I waste my money and my time. They go towards useless things. I need something to live for. I'm lost.

Wars are won,
Deceiving
Lost,
Believing
Strength
Weakness
Using force and schemes
Philosophers and warriors
Brain and brawn
A lion and a fox
A philosopher king

A falling tree makes a sound when no one is around.

Tears that flow without a tender shoulder to fall on

Are unseen, but pain is real even if it's drowned out.

I hope you find a soul who cares; They can be found.

The more love's evaded,
The more it chases.
But, when followed,
Love races away,
So just resist it.
It will fade.
Love

An elegant woman stands poised
In a dark room illuminated by soft light.
She wears an emerald-green silk dress.
Her figure is blurred but fine.
She comes to mind but why?
Isaac Carden Nov 2024
I'm on autopilot like
A puppet, animated

My thoughts aren't mine;
They're scripted like a movie

Perspectives, manufactured,
Change like contact lenses

Well-designed dilemmas may
Deceive my understanding

Someone waters seeds of reason,
Growing steadfast trust

They fake sound logic, wanting
Their beliefs to form, unheeded
You are NOT your ego
