....Plagued. What is it to be plagued? Haunted?
Seiged by an inescapable force?
Haulted?
IMMOVABLE.
ability to move, yet achieving no valuable distance.
A struggle writhing within ones self.

Pen -Pent- Pent up- P...

....Please, no more....

....more miles high.....
Stakes,
In the ground.....

Great stakes.....
High,
So very high.
Unreachable.
Unattainable.

A door.

Adoring.....
Adorable....
Sweet.

Innocence left?
       May be none left.

We've all go something to say
And no one's listening anyway.
When mouths are telling,
Mouths are yelling.
Eyes closed up and ears shut.
We wave our fists in the air
We think we are right.
We know it in our gut....
....but,
When your friends in a rut
No direction,
What
To do
With What
Is there to do when you don't give a
****
For except
Maybe your own problems,
Things that directly affect
your own respect.
Afraid
To get your get wet.
Its something we all just don't get.
...but,
For every word you say, listen to two,
See that through.
Maybe some truth you'll find
In the mouth
Of
A
Stranger.
Maybe if you just having in there
Then maybe
You will start
To care about another's
Situation.
Its a provocation
To know their elation
Could be
Your salvation.

.....before you hurt someone else
With the sharpness of. Anger.
Wash your hands clean of
The past we were given
So that you may hold present day,
Not stained by the rust
Of a saddened heart.

My brother, you are my best friend.
You know my dark is the same as yours.
We carry the memories of
A tainted childhood.
My brother..... Let go.

Some things are better not said
We cannot change them now.
Nothing they could ever say
Could take IT away.

If it's validation, here this,
"My brother, we've survived!"
Look at you. So strong,
And this life made you this way...
Not broken, not ruined, unafraid.

This weight that you carry
Must be. So. Very. Heavy.

My brother,
Let go.

It kills me because
I know how to make music
But I can't right now.
