Trapped in mediocrity
Wondering whether my tongue will eventually taste the sweetness of immortality
Sometimes I hear the secrets hidden in the silence
Their words pass on tides of ambiguity,
Spoken to be understood by souls of superior beings.

I often sit by the bon fire,
And recite the tales of a human stricken by loneliness
The burning flames are nothing but a symbol of the liberation of the state of euphoria,
Which once brought warmth to the shivers of my flesh.

I fell in love with the idea of sleep
My innocuous thoughts dabble across oceans,
Trying to find the lighthouse which will entice happiness
Allowing me to eradicate darkness,
The darkness which has been embedded within the density of my bones.

The misadventures of a man attempting to break the cycle of mediocrity,
The mystery of his fate is captured within the sands of time.

poverty,
the one thing that is always kept in the dark
there are a lot of rich people in this country,
but they don't care
the government promises jobs and infrastructure,
but they take our money for themselves undercover
the government promises education for all,
yet there are still many kids who are still uneducated
what the government doesn't know is that the lack of education and high crime rates are all related.

we live in a country which is so beautiful,
it really hurts me to see a father who is unable to put food on the table
it really hurts me to see people sleeping on the side of the road,
treating it like its a bed
it really hurts me to see people begging on the streets,
because they don't have the money to be fed.

Trying so hard to impress other people,
You forgot to impress yourself
Won over the hearts of other people,
You lost the love you used to have for yourself.

You took the time and built your own prison cell,
Where the freedom to be who you are,
Has been chained up by society’s ideology of who you are.

Your ignorance to love has caused you to find joy in;
Breaking heart,
Breaking rules,
Even breaking the law
I know deep down you still want to be cared and loved for.

Pushed your innocence of a cliff
Evil grew you wings
It was round about the same time you flew away from everything you once believed.

Wrote a million pages,
About how drowning in an ocean of superficiality has set you free
Yet when I look deep into your eyes,
It tells me a different story.

I know you've moved on
But I still have those little feelings for you
And every time I close my eyes all I see are you're dimples when you smile
I threw my chance in the bin while I had it
That is one thing that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

My friends tell me it's just old feelings coming back
I will soon get over them
But how do I exactly do that if you're still captured by my spirit
My heart dived in the deepest ocean
Just to find you... My missing treasure
Still searching for you love
Intuition tells me I’m searching too deep
All roads to eternal happiness lead to you
But I can never reach you because the mountain to your love is just way too steep.


Just the thought of you
Takes away all the troubles of this world
If you really knew how much love I have you
Maybe the story of our love will unfold
Or maybe it's a dream because you are already taken
It's all good on your side
It's just me with tears and a heart which is broken.

Caught up in a generation,
Where our strengths are attached to our egos
Caught up in a generation,
Where our insecurities are hidden behind the weaknesses of our hearts
Broken promises creates cuts in our memories,
And their scars are a reminder of who we no longer trust.

We run our mouths longer than we train our brains,
So we quickly get tired of our own thoughts
And the only source of hydration we seek is the validation of others.

Our tears are a reflection of how strong we wish we could be
We are haunted by our past,
And killed by our future
The present moment is the only time we are free.

Encouraged to be ourselves
Yet we are judged for being ourselves
Silenced into individuality,
Yet we scream for each other’s help.


Adolescents are rushed into growing up
And yet they fear growing old
We demand kindness and warmth
Yet our actions towards the ones who love us are cold.

i enjoy the silence. it calms the voices in my head down. i feel a sense of clarity, peace, and enlightenment. that is something that is lacking in this society, silence. everyone is trying to make their voices heard, and they are trying to prove how significant they are to others. but, all those things arent as important as the inner peace and acceptance you gain when you are sitting alone listening to nothing. silence doesnt seek for approval, it doesnt seek to be heard. it accepts you for who you are and the only thing desires is your presence.

Just the thought,
Of having you in my arms,
Sharing a hug,
Would provide me with happiness, never reached by any drug.

Just the thought,
Of my lips touching yours
I’d probably end up behind bars,
Because kissing an angel would be breaking all laws.

Just the thought,
Of writing you this poem,
About how I really feel,
I’m probably a fool,
Because I’d live a million years,
But I’d never have you.

Just the thought,
Of letting you go,
I never want to let it happen,
Because loving you is all I know.

Just the dream,
Of having you,
I never want to wake up,
Because I know none of these things will ever come true.
