Can you answer this question
With a smile on your face?
Can you answer this question
With confidence in place?

In your mirrors of thought
Do you see your belief?
In the pool of your essence
Could you find relief?

Do you pilot your life
Or are commandeered by emotion?
Could you tell me who you are
Through all of the commotion?

The Bond Between Life & You

Life,
Something not many know.
Maybe not even I,
But begin to see I do
With waking eyes.

I once believed
Life owed us the world.
Instead,
I now realize
That we owe life,
More than we can pay.

We should embrace,
With open arms.
Take it from
In front of our face
With a confident smile.

We owe life this,
For it gave us a chance
To live just once.
Don't let it escape
Don't let go
Grip your chance
Tight in both hands

Forbidden Fruit

Your scent circles me
Draining my sanity
Drawing me in with a sirens song
But these urges could never be more wrong

If I were to take one nip
Of your luscious soul
Within but a click
I'd engulf you whole

I hate you, no
That is a lie
I hate that you don't know
You're going to taunt me until the day I die

You're within but a fingers reach
Hidden inside forbidden
The fruit of pure sweet, forever untouched

Blank Mind

I feel a little dull
Like life has nothing left
My mind is just empty
Not cluttered with mess

With nothing to write
Nor even reason to
When life is so bland
What do I do

I would love to write again
Bringing the sun to rise
But my heart stopped pouring
Now my ink just dries

So what should I do
When life is just plain
No purpose to try
Only voids of insane

Equal Trade(10w)

Life is taken by time
Time is taken by living

Just Something

I need somethin to set me in motion
Somethin which will electrify my emotions
My life is so dull, no commotion
I want somethin to happen, a life no longer frozen

Is this some sort of lesson
My body's just stressin
I got nothin to be confessin
Just bored and depressin

Wish it was just over
Life threw me over the border
Got nothin, just getting colder
****
Give me somethin to look back on when I'm older

Delusional Minds

Little Lights

Little lights,
Sparking more than interest in my eyes,
Little lights,
Come from somewhere I'd be scared to find,

Little lights,
Distract me from the horror in my mind,
Little lights,
Keep my eyes wide open with their shine,

Little lights,
Little lights,
Getting closer,
Intertwined,

Little lights,
Little lights,
Dwell inside,
A sinner's mind-
