Silence floods my brain
and then...
I feel nothing.

I have forgotten what else is out there.
Too many hours spent in a grey, empty desk.
Nine hours of my life gone each day, and for what?
A pay check?
No, I will not spend hours doing nothing I enjoy
and for such little in return...
There will come a day, when I will be free.
I just need to remember what else there is out there.

I've been ready for some time now.
Through heartache and distractions I keep going.
Friends try to convince me that the way to a good life is
Through popping pills and killing bottles.
But I've realized that, that lifestyle is not right for me.
I want to be free from constrictions,
Free from the people who try to tear me down.
Free from the ones that know nothing else.
I'm ready to make moves.
Now...
Who's with me?

What have I been waiting for? Though I have lots of insecurities, I should know better than to say I’m not good enough. I have been through enough to know that I have what it takes to be where I want to be… so what’s stopping me? Is it fear, or just lack of hope or confidence? There could be plenty of things that hold me back, but why do I let them? Countless amounts of questions unanswered so far and I regret to think, they may never be truly answered.  If that is the case, I will start now and I won’t let anything stop me. I will break that wall of fear. I will hope for the sun and bask in the rain and I will lift my head high when feeling my lowest.
I can’t give up now, I haven’t even started.

We get it, you're sad
So are the rest of us
Can it really be that bad?
Learn to cope or
stay
and mope.
It is no use to run from it.
But why seek comfort from it?
You left
No room for happiness.
No only sadness.
I get it,
everyone gets sad.
So know that it will pass.
Don't let it last.
Once the power is given,
there won't be any of you left.

Bathe in the glory of hope.
Shatter the shield of fear.
Become more than what you think you are.
Time keeps ticking and life is not waiting for you.
Explore the world's limitless opportunities.
Adventure and happiness are out there...
Go out of the comfort of your box
and find what you're looking for.

Complex Beauty
Pale blue liquid captured in an orb
surrounded by milky colored living fabric
framed by long streams of blond silk.
Tiny pink rose petals  
outline shiny pearls
bordering a red cave.
Two pillars stand on crumbling surfaces carrying the necessities of life.
Various vessels attach to a clock ticking towards the unknowable end.
Hot maroon velvet circulates throughout the majestic system.
The source of all knowledge spreads its roots controlling the
organs as their symphony echos throughout the warm establishment.
The beauty of complexity casts itself through shining sapphire spheres.
The wet smoothness of the living fabric sends the fluttering
of butterfly wings into the one who has touched it.
The shimmering of the silk illuminated under the sun
burns a hole into the pit of that one.
Gasping for relief from the aggressive attraction.
Breathing in heavily to grasp the rawness of emotions.
    A sudden stop.                                    Fear takes over.
The clock stops.                                     The flow stops. 
The roots die.                                           The system defective.                                                    Wai­ting
   to be                                                                    mended.
We are a dying race,
And few will live to face,
The dark days that are to come,
For if romance is to be dead,
Then please, first smash my head,
I wish not to be the last one.

Last one to value a mind,
To see where you fail, and where you shine,
and not just to position for bed,
Oh please before then, please smash my head.

For if i find myself slave to lust,
Without love, romance, i will be worth less than dust,
Reduced down to a mere action, don't let that day come,
Please, PLEASE, don't let me be the last one
You can't delete this,
These moments are eternal.
In each others' arms.

Time passes slowly
Within your blessing presence,
The air becomes light.

Kissing your cheeks soft,
Long hair gently in my face,
Your bright eyes on me.

I wish nothing else
These endless nights of embrace,
Patches on my soul.
Annie
