With your love you’ve caged me
as you would a bird

Trapped and flightless neither singing
Nor crooning any word

My body fails, I fall apart,
My feeling leaves me

My voice will not sound, my heart hardly beats
I fall to the ground the cold place where I sleep


With every whim and in any way
I pray that someday I will get away

Far away from your love
That has caged me in

And bring my back my heart
That wants to begin

Back to another time
Back to the first line my life once ran on

Far away from this love that
You’ve brought down upon me
An old song inspired by something a friend, at the time, said. They have come to influence me more than I ever would have thought.

Thank you for finding a place in my heart.

P.s any suggestions on how to make this flow better as a poem would be greatly appreciated!

I asked a man a question I'd been thinking.
"Why is it that humans scopes have been shrinking?"
He gave me a frown,
And looked me up and down
Then told me that I should start drinking.
A poem to pass the time =P.

You are the Coke you once drank,
contradictory, sickly biting sweet.
I want you to hear what is true
through- your overtly carbonated
beliefs.

Because-

I know what I believe hurts you
Because your Pop stings my gums and swallows my teeth
I know that you cannot accept what was said
Because the fizz of your mind contorts me for your own sanity.

But-

I know that you don't know what I believe
Because if you did you'd break your old fashioned bottle
and begin to listen to me.

I want you to hear the lies
you've had me drink;
I want you to realize their hypocrisy.
Please, take a sip of your own Cola sting
Because you aren't what you think.
An emotion provoked piece.

I hope you enjoy.

I am battered daily by your lack of empathy
Lambaste, I am your silent child.
And still I strive for your cardinal need;
For as long as someone is receiving my desires
I am not fully broken.

Am I?

Glass is what I see you through
The world changes, as does my view
The scene today is pensive
Through my glass you look so defensive
And I want to look at you the way
You really are today

Glass is what holds me from you
The invisible shield that you threw
Unconscious, I'd like to think
But I couldn't know, we aren't in sync
I want to sit by you today
But I don't know if that'd be okay

Glass isn't something you can feel
This view and shield, it isn't real
Not in the way that you are thinking
Not in the way that you are linking
Together these words of mine
I wish that you could align

These things
Humanities endless rings
That each and every soul
Has it's very own glass whole
Of everything that could be
But, it is wholly your choice to see
An idea that took form. I hope that you enjoy it.

Thank you for reading.

The paper told me something different than it told you.
How can ink speak so clearly and still we get it all wrong?
These things I ask but I feel so far gone, so far gone..

Darling you said it's gone and I did too,
but what does that mean for me and for you?
Could we cage it?
Could we mark it in stain?
And when it's all gone can we remain, can we remain?

The radio wailing has turned it's voice too loud,
and it's speaking is not always true, I've found.
In little voices and silent terms, the key of subjectivity yearns
and it can't remain when Truth is so wrong, when your Truth is so wrong.

What we have been told and what we have taken
seems to have constantly been mistaken into something else
that eludes logical comprehension.
We strive to provide the lies that we like and turn all else to
dice that roll on the table sides only to remain a piece of the game,
the same old wrong game..

One day let us pray that what we all say and what we all hear
is exactly what was intended, no context to fear.
And the people that speak, one day will we meet, and a blossoming might surface.
And that will be the day that the paper told me what it did you;
The day that I might understand.

You are the reason that I survive, Truth.
An old song of mine; heavily revised =P.

Opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

a sanctuary is a figment
that holds onto
crepe thin walls
attempting to console

                                                        ­ & I am so sad,
& I am delicate.


a rectangle-d square
that encases
abundant possessions
wanting purpose

                                                        ­ & I am so sad,
& I am meaningless.


a mirrored niche
that abounds
exorbitant realities
coaxing something

                                                      ­   & I am so sad,
& I am unfound.


my sanctuary is a figment
that I hold onto
nostalgic for touch
I long for you

                                                         & I am so sad,
& I am foolish.

                                                       ­ 
emotional access                               chalant-less spew
you can choose                                 I can't choose
garnered love                                   brained tongue
I give to you                                     given through



& I am so sad,
                       painless in your tone,
                                                         passing as you go.
This is a song I wrote and thought that I'd share.

I'd love to hear opinions.
