That girl..
I've seen her before,
I know her,
Or..
At least I think I do..
I've met her before,
We've talked,
We were friends,
I'm sure of it,
But...
Maybe it was in a past life...

As she sleeps
I cannot
While she dreams
I think
She stirs
And I remain still
So close..
I can feel the heat
So distant,
I feel nothing else
As she sleeps
And dreams
I'm wide awake
Thinking
Staring at the emptiness
The void
Hoping to find a sign..
Your hands are cold
But mine are warm..

It's almost poetic
The way you speak
It's almost poetic
The way you think
The way you sleep and dream
It's almost poetic
The way I feel for you
It's almost poetic
The way we argue
It's almost poetic
When we say goodbye
Not knowing the next time
We'll see each other
You are the curved line
And I am the dot
That creates the question mark..
And it's almost poetic
If it were not so pathetic.

Into the depths we dive
With only hopes to survive
Into the unknown we brave
No longer society's slave
Let the rebellion live on
We yell with arms drawn
Freedom we scream
Freedom we dream
No longer should we slumber
Wake up
.. world

As a boy I was lost and afraid
Ashamed and scared
Every bad thing that every happened
Was god
Every urge was a sin
Demons possessed people
And the Devil lurked in the shadows
As a boy
I believed
I wore a necklace with a cross
For protection
As I aged
I gained more knowledge.
I wasn't so afraid anymore
I had doubt, although doubt itself
Was sin
But I didn't care
I was tired of praying..
Atheism.. my savior
Science the prophet.
I was tired of seeing so much hate
And hearing "god loves everyone"
I no longer feared eternal punishment
For living how I wanted,
Doing what I felt
Mistakes no longer condemned me..
They helped me learn
And that is all.
I wasn't afraid to live anymore
Atheism empowered me..
It humbled me.
I am but a speck of space dust
And that is grand in all means
Amazing and uplifting
The wonder
The unknown
If there is a god somewhere out there..
Thank him for atheism.
I'm no longer a boy..
But the cross necklace
I still wear..
Not as a sign of absolute
But as the torture device
That is religion.
My reminder
Of the prison where I once dwelled...
