You cannot force what is Natural,
Wait for it to come,
And ride the wave.
Phantom647 Aug 2021
The joy that's in one square inch of nature,
Is worth more than what's in one million pixels.
Turn your back on the meaningless game,
And see what matters most.
Unplug from the outlet that drains you,
And reconnect with what is natural.

Do what you have to do,
So you can do what you want to do.

When our loved ones die,
They're not really gone.
They turn into the trees,
Slide into the breeze,
And morph into the air that you breathe.
Think of these things,
When they're gone.

All of our spirits raise when we see the light.
Phantom647 Aug 2021
Ride life like a lightning bolt.
With unshakable, determined purpose.
Burning up all that stands in your way.
And making the world smile when it sees you strike.

Who am I, but a reflection of what I see?
And is what I see really me?
Phantom647 Apr 2023
After all of these people,
After all of these friends,
I still feel that no one understands,
Who I am.

I know it must end,
But it's easier to pretend,
That it won't.

That my heart won't break,
That my voice won't shake,
That my legs won't quake.

It's so much simpler,
To let the strife slide away,
And push that conflict back to another day.

But when all is said and done,
I know it must end,
This must someday be gone.

You have such a narrow view of you should be,
That you lose sight of who you are.
Phantom647 May 2021
You are where you should be,
So you can become who you could be.
Phantom647 Nov 2021
Be like wine,
Get better with age.
For the moment you stop striving,
Is the moment you start dying.
Phantom647 Feb 2022
Make your words count.
You only have so many.

When will we learn that fire burns?
That words hurt.
That they give the sparks of anger form
And turn them into a storm.
That moves through the world uncontrolled,
And even the best agents sent on patrol,
Are left scorched in their wake,
Leaving nothing but pain and ache.

That lies fly from ear to ear,
Diluting the truth until nothing is clear.
They make trust rust faster than light,
And make it hard to win the fight.
To cooperate.
To move past our flaws and navigate,
This difficult world we're in.
Landing more and more fools in the pen.

But in the same way that words do harm,
They work like a charm.
They can be used to tie us together like crochet.
To unite a generation, like MLK.
Words can heat a room,
Or burn the house down in one giant plume.
How we use them is up to us,
To answer the one simple question: Who Do You Trust?

Work is necessary,
But too much of it frays the mind,
And drains the soul.
Phantom647 May 2021
I can't seem to think of what to write.
I think and think,
But nothing comes to mind.
It's as if I load up a website,
And in big red letters,
Flashing and bright,
It says,
BLOCKED.

Your star shines bight from where I'm watching.

I'm afraid.
Afraid to be happy.
Afraid to be at peace.
Afraid to be calm.

But when I see you, I see a life without that fear.
I walk towards it, my whole being shaking.
Knowing that the future I've always dreamt of is here.
But it's that same future that I've always feared.

To know what I want, yet to be afraid to take it,
Is the cruelest form of suffering there is.
It is like having a hungry, empty stomach,
and a throat as wide as a tooth pick.

Yet, I march on, trepidatious as I might be.
For I see a beautiful life, just you and me.
You

You
You help me see who I am,
Better than anyone else can.
You help me understand
What it means to be a man.
You turn my head to the stars,
And tell me that my dreams aren't that far.
You are amazing in every way.
And that's why I love
You.
YOU

YOU
The vastness and majesty of the universe is but a reflection of the wonder that is you.

Your suffering does not make you special,
How you overcome it makes you that way.
Phantom647 Oct 2021
Realize,
That even if you're up to your eyeballs in something,
You can still see.
Phantom647 Oct 2021
Your choppy waves slam me onto rocky shores.
Your droughts dry even the wettest of forests.
Your wind wipes away the strongest of trees.
Your fury leaves nothing but scorched earth in its wake,
Where nothing can grow back.

It leaves my heart in two.
That's why I just can't be with
You.
Phantom647 Oct 2021
Raise your head,
Release your dread,
Your best days are ahead.
Phantom647 Apr 2021
Don't play the game,
Stay in your lane.
Phantom647 Jul 2021
Take your seat next to the great ones.

No matter what happens,
Your world keeps turning. :)
