Here I am once again
In a place I know to well
Perched upon the blank plain
I imagine it worse than hell

It seems I have left but a speck
Of imagination for possible creation
I say to myself "it will return, just give it a sec"
My mind full of nothing, the void invasion

Every time I return to the absence
It draws me in deeper, draining
My thoughts, causing the loss of sense
My dreams and hopes it's consuming

Will I escape this time
Will I ever create another rhyme
Or will my thoughts be silent as a mime
NO, this is just an obstacle I shall climb

I will make it out alive
My inspiration shall kick in
So for this I shall strive
Splash this void with creation and win

I've decided to go on a holiday
Take a trip not so far away
I hike across the paper grass
An ink lake I almost pass

I dive right on in
Now ink stained veins
I travel across vast mountains
Trailing behind an ink river

Forming the ups and downs
The rolls and spins around
Dizzy I fall upon wet grounds
Tweeting of a pen birds sound

This is where you'll find me
Upon an ink stained paper grass sea

An interesting thing
About our thinking
We rarely just act
Instead we ask, what if?

What if I say something wrong
What will happen
To the road I walk upon?
Will my journey start cracking?

What if I take the day off?
Will I lose my job?
Will I be palmed off?
I don't want to be stuck as a slob

Now I'd like to say
Don't stress on these "what ifs"
Send them on their way
The only if you should think upon
Is whether you'll wake for another day

Don't stress about the "what ifs"
You may never get another chance
If your worried about what might happen
Instead of taking action

Live like there is no tomorrow
For there is no time you can borrow
Take it while you have a chance
Live, love life and advance

I am you* in unseen places
The you, which you ignore
Forgotten and left behind

I am you behind the play
The nails and glue
That hide behind the picturesque facade

I am you crouched in wait
Perched and ready
To be acknowledged as truth

I am you inside your words
Shared anonymously
Naked, alone, embittered and brilliant

I am you crouched in the darkest corner
Shadowed by pain
Seething in silence

I am you oblivious to the knowledge
That in this twisted loss of self
You are in fact...**me

A boy sits alone
Waiting for a friend
Someone he can play with
Someone to hold his hand.

A girl in the hall
Rushes to get to class
But no one notices
As she pushes past.

A man stands
All alone on the street
Hoping someone will come along
And give him food to eat.

A woman sits on her bed
Aging each day
Wondering why her children
Are so far away.

There are so many lives
That are left untouched
Because we think what we
are doing is "good enough".

It's time we reach out
To the people in need
It's time that we became
His hands and feet.

Jesus called us to love
The broken and afraid
So what will your choice be?
Will you love or walk away?

Mind scattered
During reality
Thought splattered
With insanity

Till each day's through
My heart skips a beat
Maybe even two
Once time comes to sleep

Drift into infinity
Searching for ruby glazed lips
Follow the sapphire sea
Glance upon mesmerizing hips

An intoxicating kiss
Planted upon my steel cheeks
Fragrant melting bliss
Only a soft whisper she speaks

All I can make out
Is "come find me"
Abruptly ripped about
Brought back to reality

Tantalizing our
Every
Moment.
Probing and
Twisting our minds
Away.
Tampering with our senses.
Inception, entering
Our brains and
Noxiously reprograms
