The Great Depression
In the time between the worlds feuds
A mighty crash left our country subdued
Infertility plagued the land
While everyone put out their hungry hand.
People so fragile, plunged to their death
Not even taking a second to hold their breath
Women were forced to give up inside life
Turning to coat hangers, instead of surgical knifes.
While many men turned to a homemade noose
To be found in a closet by those they would lose.
Thursday became known as a blackened date
As a reminder of countries’ terrible fate.

I Wish I Never Met You
You are the poison that pulses through my veins
Making me question my sanity and feeling insane
I wish I'd never seen your haunting face
I wish the memories would vanish without a trace
I hate you, but I love you, I was scared of you, but I know you

I wish I could say it was all a dream, I wish I could say it wasn't true.
I long for your happiness at the cost of my own
Maybe one day I'll now longer reap what I've sown.

Cuckoo
Medication time wheezed nurse ratchet
Her yellowed teeth as sharp as a hatchet
Medication time medication time
She shouts once more
Leaving me sickly chilled to my core
Medication time medication time
she hisses in my ear
Will I ever get better or is it only my fear?
Medication time medication time
she picks up in pace
If the medicines working why do I feel I'm being erased?
Medication time medication time
It comes to an end
I've been lobotomized and left for dead

It Rages Inside
Two brothers forever locked in a feud
One named innocence and the other lewd.
Both born from a different mother
Although identical to each other

Innocence has gone away
Leaving only lewd to hectically play
In the path of his destruction
He Leaves innocence in a state of corruption

He must now take the blame
For all of Lewd's ungodly pain
this sibling rivalry will remain the same
Lewd is much too hard to tame

An Old Poem For Nadia
She'll be digging her toes in the California sands
Only Being catered to by the loveliest of hands.
Her heavenly vocals will take her to the top of the charts
Mangling and delighting a billion hearts
She'll be the next Beyonce or Lana Del Ray
But probably something better, many would say.
She'll get everything she wants, all and more
I just hope she remembers me when I see her on tour

Mind Like a Reptile
The mind is reptilian in nature
Shedding its skin each passing day

The hollow remains seem that of someone else
Where they haven't changed, but we know they're not the same.

We slither around in our new found skins
Slowly adapting to each situation
Forever shedding to meet need after need
Sometimes to a point when we bleed

Our skin my shed and our colors the same
But some of us change skin so much we forget our names.

Beauty Beyond Words
There is such beauty in the unexplained
A feeling so grand that no words can do it justice
To have no satisfaction with anyone but one
To wear your heart on your sleeve and be overjoyed
To think and not think all at the same time
To trust someone with everything and nothing
To give up nothing and everything
To feel secure and vulnerable all at once
You are forever my mystery
There is such a beauty in the unexplained

Milky Way Sorrows
I dream of you beneath starry skies
The Milky Way as majestic as your
Angel eyes
The moon shines bright all through the night
Like the energy of your radiant light
The clouds slowly form a smirk
Reminding me of how we didn't work
But I politely force a smile
I'll beautifully suffer for a while

Space Cadet
The more we pick our selves up the more we fall down
Our blurry smiles fading from our silly faces
Our scares only visible for us to see
In someone else's shoes it's hard to be
We deal with life by polluting our Senses
The pills, the beer, the hits, the liquor,
They say wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
We give our selves to our mistakes
Degrading our minds till they're completely erased
We defile all of our left over sanity
Purging our confidence in delusional vanity.
Well always be a slave to self degradation
We all need a temporary vacation

Feelings On Lease
Hey there stranger remember my face?
I think we knew each other in a different time and place.

There was even a time I think you knew my name
But you may have forgotten it because of the pain
I think there was a time you knew all my secrets
What made me strong and what made me the weakest
I think there was a even a time we locked lips
Eyes closed with our hands on one another's hips

So hey there's stranger do you remember my face?

No...it must have been another person at a different time or place.

Ice until comforting warmth
Every day my heart grows colder
A victim of the dreaded black ice
The less I move, the more I try
The more I struggle, the more I frost

I lie in this place of snowy despair
My mind slowly slipping breath, by passing breath

I drown without with out you
How I loved you so
I guess we just killed each other
And didn't know

Until I'm reunited with your elegant soul
I suffer, and ice over more than you'll ever know

You plagued my heart
And tore it to shreds
But I still think of you
Without regret

I fear the only cure
Is your comforting warmth
Your arms wrapped around me...
More fondly than before
You caressed my soul in total bliss,

Your company...I still dearly miss.
I hope some day we reunite
To avoid this inevitable..,deadly frost bite.
In your arms I was the safest of all
A feeling so grand it had no name to call
The times I was with you seemed like a dream
I don't think that i'll ever know what you mean
I still hold your secrets and you hold mine...
Hopefully our souls will meet again in time
Night after night I dream of you
And in the morning I am haunted
For not keeping you, my love
My heart is forever taunted

Every night I see your face
Your lips as red as roses
I relive your body's every curve
Until my dream forecloses

If I could sleep forever, my love
I would do so in an instant
For I know I can't truly be with you
But my heart is persistent.

Night after night I dream of you
And in the morning I am haunted
For not keeping you, my love
My heart is forever taunted.

People
Deception, just a common misconception
A virus rooted in our psyche
A habit that's much to likely
Its the best friend of weakness
Breeding falsity and bleakness

Those who know it's stinging kiss
Are the ones who reap this
Maybe one day we can live with out
Until then this is what our society's all about
You are the queen of the mascuarde
Your poorly stitched mask so crudely made
Your one pure face, now stretched and torn
To fit the stitches so clearly worn
The comforting aura you once conveyed
Was merly a facade of your lavish parade
All you showed me was never real
You are simply way to pretend to feel

Endless Suffering
A bird is an elegant creature
Filled with good intention as they sore
They spread their wings with grace and freedom
Ever peaceful and completely free
Once a bird is trapped in cage
It is longer a free spirt, but a trapped soul
A soul slowly polluting and decaying
A bird that can not fly slowly goes mad
A rage building until they eventually snap
I'm afraid my wings have been snipped
And further into mad rage I slip
Flightless traded for elegance and freedom
Soon I'll fear a great part of me will be dead.

The Dawn
Crisp yellow beams parade through orange sky's
Marching without purpose where their heavenly background lyes
The sun births a tranquil prismatic sea
As the night settles in where dark will soon be
The world is over cast with a pleasing mystic hue
Tomorrow will soon breath these colors a new
As the sun goes down and ready for bed
It brings it's life to somewhere new overhead

Inspiration For Tomorrow
It is our duty as human beings to inspire
To spark in others an undying desire
So let us pick up our pens and pencils
Our paints, chisels, and stencils
Our microphones, drums, and musical tools
And our books, beakers, and new found rules.
Let us make a path for greatness to follow
So we can make a much berighter tomorrow.

Spirituality
Trapped in a prison we are,
Forged by our own greedy hands
Till the days of sentimentalism have become the past
We all live with dressed up souls
Taught values and fake appreciations
Never knowing our true potential or selves
The reflection that stares back at you
Purely manufactured
let us break away from this lie
And find true meaning with in our self
Away from this land of concrete and stone
Away from these material objects
Away from these horrid teaching and
Away from this brainwashed state
Let us finally find our own spirit,soul, and mind

The Lime Light
There was a time I believed in angles
I thought everything was true
I thought I had all the answers
With every line delivered on queue.

The stage seemed always set for me,
And all my props and lines did too
Eventually I came to see
The lime lights vastly dimming hue.

Torn from my starring role,
My only golden years
I lose a sense of innocence
Due to bigger fears.

My little stage
Is now a memory,
Merely written on a page
The fact that every actor must face this
Seems completely deranged.

The Suffering Never Ends
I wake up every morning
Wishing I had died the day before
Life is not worth living
When everything's a choir

I put on a smile
To hide my face,
My soul rotting
At a steady pace

In six months, I'll be unknown
My face forgotten
I'll have
Decayed alone

My only regret
Is never hearing those
Three little words...

But I suppose it's something
I just didn't deserve.

A Starry Night
The sun sets gently under Pastel sky's
Bringing with it a fond warm lit night.
The stars dancing elegantly
In their bright white coats
As the see through clouds
So calmly float.
The moon glows softly through the tops of the trees
As the night yawns a soft peaceful breeze
Nighty nighty said little child
As he laid his small head down for a while.

Issues of Commitment
We trade our sadness for sweetness
All our strength, for weakness.
But I guess, we need this
Were are to vulnerable

We die like a flower
Wilting hour by hour
Were sweet turned sour
And to way to vulnerable  

We take pleasure with the pain
Slowly becoming insane
Our hearts overstrained
Were are to vulnerabe

I Won't Do what You Tell Me
Denny all authority
corruption of conformity
Never believe all that your told
Don't let your self be bought and sold
Our legal system is an utter stye
So let your ******* hang high
It is time for every soul to unite
And win this utterly ****** up fight
It is time for all of us to be free
And let a better order be.

Crystal Clarity
You say you believe in something
But irony says you don't
You build up your morals as your god
And then you slit his throat.
You've tarnished what is good and pure
Your fellow man betrayed
You've warped angels into monstrosities
All hope has decayed.

Death of Red
The color red is dead
A made up primary that came from our heads.
An evil marking of false trust
Not of love, just of lust
It consumes our thoughts and our hearts
Bringing us together and tearing us apart
It brings us no where,
But back to the start.

History
History repeats it's self time and time again
The faces of lovers now the ones of ghosts
The faces of friends washed out, and stretched
The faces of acquaintances long forgotten

Unwanted feelings come rushing back
Unlocking the true nature of the heart
Uniting present and the decaying past
******* our souls burdening desires

Control of faculties lost from ancient lust
Contact with previous lovers now alien.
Concentration is lead completely astray
Continually history will repeat itself again
Dark clouds and stormy skies  
are always hidden behind the sunniest of days

Even the most beautiful weather has  a chance of showers, with the possibility of hurricanes

One can never really tell if future skies hold the storm of the century or the most tranquil of seas

Even during the most perfect of days one should bring a rain coat and a floatation device in case beauty does cease.

Like That of Children
We are all children longing for the better days
The days when our sand box seemed like the greatest of deserts
When a trip down a narrow slide was the greatest of adventures
When we loved and forgave without a second thought
The days when we knew ourselves
Without worry, judgment, or care

A Poem Inspired by Hayley
The days grow long and the nights grow short
Emotions and thoughts have become hard to sort
There wasn't meant to be any sorrow
But I feel Your love I can no longer borrow

Though the path we have chosen has come to an end
There are brighter pastures for us around the bend
We'll remember the good times along with bad
And neither of us will forget what we had

But there was a fork in the road that we both had to face
Knowing there would come an end to our loves embrace
Soon we will find ourselves happier than before
Hopefully walking for never more.
Some say I'm a child of god
Some say of the spawn of the devil
Others say I got the 9 lives of a cat
Others say I'm as filthy as a dog

Pick an adjective
And that's my name
But don't wear it out  
It changes day by day

Some say I'm a child of the stars
Others say I'm the shadow of the sun
Some say my aura is made of gold
Others say its convoluted and gray

Pick an adjective
And that's my name
But don't wear it out
It changes day by day

Some say I have a caring heart
Others say I'm as cold as a stone
Some say they'll be with me for life
Others say I'm better off alone.

Pick an adjective
And that's my name
But don't wear it out
It changes day by day

Society
We lay society out on the table
And dissect it from its head to its navel
We mask its stench with rubbing salts
As we analyze its every faults
We sort through its entrails, in hopes to find
An answer to give us some piece of mind
But in the end death is still death
And we’re all getting closer with every breath.

Why is that when people break up they can't be friends?
Some of us would like to keep ties with our loose ends.
Yes, we were lovers, and that may seem scary
But I think it's quite the contrary

Who knows you better than your ex?
The person who everyday you used to text
Who else has kept all your secrets?
Not shedding light on any of your weakness
Who else cares about you more
Arms open, never showing you the door
And who else will love you when get old?
No one because your heart has grown to cold.
Everyone wants to be loved.
Were all searching for our imaginary partner
Women crave their knight in shining armor
While men dream of their glorious queen

We all want to feel the perfect touch
An unforgettable breath on our necks
A kiss that leaves us gasping
And a feeling of warmth that lasts forever

We all just want to let go
And give ourselves up completely
Sharing our mind, body and soul
And just loose control of our selves

Everyone wants to be loved
One day we'll find our mythical partners
Women will find their men shining armor
And men will find their sweet, lovely queens

You Were Everything
You were the breath in my lungs
My warming sun
The moon that lit up my night
And the blood in my heart

The drug that picked me up
The energy in my soul
The glow of my aura
And the cure to my loneliness

I'm slowly suffocating now
My world is dark
My night is black
And there's not a single beat in my heart

I'm lower than low
My soul's off kilter
My aura is gray
And I'm drowning in loneliness

I've packed up the sun
And stored away the moon
But to hopefully display them again
Some day soon

Foreign Shores
I have anchored my roots on the shores of your heart
Fighting the tides of your past as we fell apart
In your desolate wasteland of sand I now sit
My flowers a bloom show no sign to quit
If your sands of passion allow me to grow
Then I will flourish to a point you only dream to know
But if you’re emotional shoals take their toll
Then I will pack up my red pedals and go.

The heart is that of a budding rose
The more attention it gets, the more it grows.
Every good memory like a pedal
Beautiful and untouched until they settle
Our senses like roots that lead to our core
Providing us with nourishment, rich or poor
Emotional stability like that of soil
If the foundations bad it will eventually spoil

What Is Love?
Love is a merely a fable of fairy tales
A simple mistruth that propels our wishful sails
We invest ourselves in this lie
To convince us that we won't be alone when we die
We think of love as some heavily bliss
Something to be cherished and missed
But it is just a tale to keep us warm at night
It's better to give up now than loose an unwinnable fight.

Forever Alone
Today is the day, I died inside
My soul has finally broken
Numb and without repair
I lie upon a cold, black bed

The tears that once drowned my face
Have now dried up without a trace
Forgotten with each memory
That composed each tiny drop

Hopelessness is setting in
My heart has grown cold and hollow
I'm diseased without a cure
I wish their was a magic pill I could swallow

Ill be alone for the rest of my days
It's just how it will always be
I'm the killer of my own relationships...
I guess you can call it suicide
This is all I expect.

Goodbye My Friend
Tonight I morned the death of a friend
I've burned all the letters I could never send.
I buried her memories in a jet black box
And carefully tighned the new found locks.
I washed off the filth and got ready for bed
Knowing no more thoughts of her would dance through my head
I pulled up the sheets and turned out the lights
I've never slept better than I have tonight

Walking Toward The Light.
Let's find some validly
Let's find some substance
Away from this material world
That has no justice

Lets's find the paths
That we all should follow
Away from these cardinal sins
That make us hollow

Let's spread our love
And spiritual graces
And make full use of the clock
That laughs in our faces

Let's find our heaven
And peace on this earth
And live our lives
To the fullest they're worth

About a Girl
Here I sit, silently suffocating by the hands of a ghost I used to call a friend.
Her red nails ever dripping with the fragile essence that once was,
And the image of her face, so elegantly haunting, has been burned upon my eyes forever.
As her hands grasp around my tender neck, all I can do is relive the past.
The good, the bad, the perfect, and the grotesque all culminate into one.
As I slip away, I begin to wonder if everything I know was solid truth,
or if it was all a simple ruse, strategically planned for her sick sadistic pleasure.
Now in the last seconds of my conscious state I know I’ll never be forgiven
For the things I did to generate your undying hate.

Suicide Select
The ***** act for us, Can never be justified.
We live in castles made of diamonds, and drive cars made of gold, we feast, were never famished, and we never grow old, but we still exaggerate, and complicate a tack in our shoes, the day of the week, and the things we choose.
It is the ones who live in shadows, that have the right to this act, for when you truly have nothing you may then choose a world of black.
When you finally live a day without light, you will truly deserve the right, to have your big kiss goodnight.

A Poem For A Special Friend
I never thought I would care once more
Your gorgeous face knocking at my red door.
It's hard to maintain the feelings for an ex
I would rather do what's right than have passionate ***
I don't know if it's just old simple routine
I can't figure out what you should mean
I know your independent like a soaring bird
And thought of landing seems completely absurd
But I know is I can't hold back any more
Soon ill be knocking on your squeaky red door.

The Unanswered Question
What is that makes one man pure and another a monster?
Is it simply a predisposition or does one need to develop longer?
How can one give in to their primitive dark temptations?
While the other is chained to their morals and holy aspersions?
How can one gain pleasure from lies and desertion?
When another gains pleasure from helping and self correction?
How can utter evil exist in one mans blackened heart,
While one can be pure mind, body and soul from the start?
If we could answer this mystery we could heal what tears us apart.

Lovers Waters
If I could travel back with restless sails
I would navigate your waters with more caution.
You capsized my red vessel in an instant
And washed me to Barron shores

Much time has passed since I've treaded your seas
But I long to float in them once more
Im waiting to find my albatross to guide me home
But I fear it'll never show

Perhaps one day I'll be immersed in your warm your waters again
But if the storm hasn't settled than I just might drown instead.
I hope one day you'll remember, how i used to be
Like the time we met, and you feel asleep next to me
I'm not crazy...I'm just a little unwell
The fact I couldn't express my passion, was complete hell

I know we had our good times, and we had some bad ones too,
But after I become myself once again, I want to make things up to you

I remember the night you cried in my arms
Sharing your every secrets, expecting no harm
I know the way it ended, I torn us apart,
But, my dear, you'll always have a place in my heart

I must admit I lost all control
This aliment was way too much for my dying soul
I broke our connection...That was something more
But I don't expect you to come knocking back at my door  

Since that tragic day I've never forgotten your face
I was completely out of line, and out of place

But if you could some how see me during my darkest hour
My heart could finally start growing sweet, and a slowly less sour.

A Heavy Heart
There are many things I I wish I could make you see
I wish I could show you I'm sorry
But I have to let you be
I wish you could see how much I've changed
But to contact you now would seem deranged
I wish I could show you that your still my friend
But to you that chance is at an end
I wish I could tell you I never gave up your secrets
But to you it's probably just meaningless
I wish I could make you see you should forgive me
But I know your thought of me is empty
There are many things I wish I could make you see...
