Stepping away from the edge of sanity I leave from that thin line
Which side did I venture from?  Which side did I venture to?
My heart races as my thoughts creep in
Thoughts of a dark desolate place that I try so hard to bury
Continuously they sneak up on me time and time again
There is no use to suppress these tormenting images that cloud my head
Yet I believe it is time to break free from the shackles of my void of a mind
This vortex of darkness has plagued me for too long
Reality and my dreams have become clouded with doubt
For I cannot determine the difference between what is real and what is not
It is time to take control of my own mind
Save me from myself
No longer shall I let my past haunt my dreams
Haunt my reality
It is time to let go of the burden that I have created for myself
The past is behind me now, time to let go
That is not who I am, that is not what I am to become of
There is hope for salvation in my mind
Not from “god”, but from myself
From the void

Once there was a man,
who could never get a tan.
However much he tried,
and the more his skin dried,
he soon cracked up and died.

Twirling the world
Glass hearts shattering

Tears as brutal as bullets
Down to the ground, thundering

Wounds hungering
For pain and suffering

Armored boys and girls warring
Adults, too afraid, we're cowering
Faltering, the future is wavering

Water colors merely disappearing
Only mud drooping, and smearing
As we watch it engulf our mired territory
