Tess

solitude

how deep are the oceans
how vast is the sky
in these endless escapes
is there somewhere to hide

somewhere to go and never be found
somewhere to scream yet not make a sound...

Sins of the past

A Myth of Despair

'Let me go'
'Let me go'
Screamed a voice from below
'Let the shadows surround above and around'
'Pain did its justice now time to let go,'
'Take me away and let me decay'
~
Now she lies in a grave fire
Taken away and she now cries
The same tune with words of joy
Her whispers still echo
In the streets of despair.

Cross of doom

When I look over
my shoulder
all I see is a star
shining through
a dark hole
and hear a strange sound
like wind crying out
through the trees
or the creaking
of limbs
a dark shape
passing over the moon
like an omen
of a mad woman
I once knew
a ghost ship
spreading her legs
like a cross
arms reaching out
her name lost
to my memory
something that sounds
much like my doom.

Social injustice

Social injustice
It is a fact
The rich get richer
The poor get jack
To tackle this problem
We need a plan
That will actually benefit
Each working man

I know you’re expected to be tough all the time,
so you just keep on walking
pretending like you don’t have to cry.
I know you're tired of fighting the dark,
and you can never catch a break.
Everyone wants you to be strong,
but you just feel weak.
They tell you the road will get better
and you just need to **** it up.
Or maybe if you tried harder
you wouldn't be stuck in your rut.
So you dwell on that same question again
“Why am I still here?"
always living on an empty stomach,
never able to get your fill.
Knowing your misery would end,
if you just ate all your pills.

I. Couldn't . Name . It

There's a shallow darkness over our minds
That paves the lights like sheer blinds
for the quench of love in our broken souls
There's a fear seeping deep inside our veins
That's often too scared to care
too scarred to share
Sometimes all we need is someone to pull us out from the past
And a little time
to fill up the spaces in our minds.
