To not try is giving into defeat

To try is an opening for possibilities

Let**

It’s painfully silent in the speakeasy
And this newfound peace makes me queasy
I lug around a heavy suitcase of deceit
For hiding one’s damning devils is no simple feat

Me

I stalk through and survey my domain
Hunting excellency among cheap cologne and horns of the midnight train
Right then, spotted her face and struck my most potent sneer
I could see past the plastic smiles in all their thin veneer

Make

Wait until she leaves the bar to drag her back inside the killing fields
Quickly hush her chloroform cries and keep my eyes perpetually peeled
I kiss her nape and fly away from the world’s wears
Whisper “You’re a gorgeous doll neatly wrapped in silk and nightmares”

You

Safe within the grasp of thickets, I force her grin and lick the dimples
Get struck with horror when my vision spots one too many pimples
I cry with the straw-filled fiends illuminated by lantern light
Then embrace my honed craft, without delay, for all waking hours of the night

Better

When all points of perfection fall out of quiver
When the sorrowful scarecrows look upon me and shiver
I’ll cut out my beauty’s flaws from largest lump to smallest sliver

share all feelings i can’t say
through gritted, numbing teeth.
call my bluff
pull my words
out of my throat
until your hands are tough
calloused with my
eventual, sober
regret.

"I once met a homeless man lying in
the beach sand.
The heat of it helped his chills, i dare not
give him a hand.
He asked if i could cover him with the coat
that i had to wear.
I placed it around his shoulders,
he looked at me with a heart warming stare.
A tear came from my eye as i asked if
i could be of some help.
A voice, he spoke. " I'm so thirsty, just a
sip of your coke."
I quickly satisfied his thirst and told him i'd
be right back.
Running to the nearest take out restaurant he
began to shout.
"Please come back, don't leave me alone."
So i stopped and ran back.
i held him in my arms. He took his last
breath, then he was gone."

Do you believe in destiny
That things just have to be
Or do you think you're in control
Dericting the way your life goes

Do you think things will bend to your will
Do you have that much skill
That you can delay
Or change the way

Can you not see the hands of fate
That everything has a set date
The universe you can not sway
We all get swept away

So enjoy the ride
For you and destiny will collide
At times there will be tears
But we only have a set number of years

So laugh through the pain
Dance in the rain
Hold on to the ones that you love and that love you back
Before it all just fades to black

I string up my hammock for two,
and lay in it alone,
listening to the trees whisper to one another.
How I long to hear their songs
and giggle to their stories
of centuries past and times forgotten.
The wind rocks me close to her *****
while the sun shines down on the children
hoping from flower to flower and between blades of grass.
But my eyes grow heavy, and I struggle to stay.
Then I hear them,
laughingly say,
rest now child;
all is well.

blue dome
my home
cant roam
needles in the foam

signs
fines
crimes
deaf mimes

its all wrong
no song
no ****
short light dark long

greed enslaves
everyone craves
corpse in the waves
crash on our graves

peace slipped from hand
glass in the sand
wounded sky around land
consequences grand

our apathy trust
possessions our ******
oblivion with gust
we'll even trample our dust...

Black looks like a dark room were the truth comes out, quiet and alone
The taste of the bitter smack of reality, painful and cold
Black feels like a sharp pain of your heart breaking by the one you love
Smells like the smoke of the last cigarettes that slowly choking you’re your lungs,
after you take your last drag
Black sounds like a car trying to stop before the deadly car crash happened
that killed two teenagers
The hurt and the pain that filed his daughter’s eyes after he left her standing
in the rain for the 2nd time
Black is like the sky before the storm hits home, rainy and dark
Like running away from any type of happiness that comes your way
Black hinds inside the word trust,
but your trust has been broken some many time that you don't know what it means
The fear you have when your mom says” he is coming over”
Black is the little bit of hope you have when things start to get better
but never does
The cry for help that you want from your parents that never comes,
how loud do I have to scream before they can hear me
Black is the ashes from the fire that happened that ruin everything
that was so perfect at one point
But after all without the black that darkens your problems
the light will be too bright to see them
