Where am I
Where has my world gone?
I am left here in the dark
A dark with no dawn

I am wandering about
Without a clue to where
I am filled with doubt
And yet I dare

I dare to dream
I dare to walk
I dare to find

To find the light
Will make life shine
Never stop the fight
Till the light is mine

I’ve been gone too long
Only now do I see
That everything in life
Crowds around me.

Where have I been?

I know it now
I stayed in my mind.
Like a worthless cow.

It was my castle
For that I am sure.
But it was a great hassle
To keep it secure.

----I was asleep

What did I do there?

I walked…
I walked day by day
Till my world turned grey.

I stayed in that castle.
Protected by my walls.
I walked for hours
In the countless halls.

----I dreamt

Am I still there?

I’ve out grown it now.
As it is plain to see.
Life’s great joys
Came to rescue me.

The confides of that castle
No longer apply
I am now life’s great vassal
I can now say, Goodbye

Goodbye my castle.
I have finally changed
And with you here
Things remain strange.

----I live, thus I change

How do I feel now?

I feel free
I feel for the first time
That I can see.

But my eyes are not needed.
My mind sees the truth.
Eyes show us nothing
Minds show us proof.

My mind shows me things
Things that my eyes miss.
My mind gives it meaning
My eyes just list.

Now that I am free.
And my mind seems to wander.
Past the simple things
That I used to ponder

No longer am I halted
No longer am I slowed.
Now my mind transcends
Past the unknown

It has given me ideas
Ideas so old and wise
Ideas of those…
Who have no eyes.

This is how I do decree
That I will live my life
Till life leaves me.

----I am enlightened

you are the great, gray sky above me...

between us,

           the deadly smoke rising...

soon,

     your gray clouds
            
         would be too heavy...

          you drop your black rain...

The first time I cried
I said it all
I opened up and hoped she would help
But all she said was
it gets better

I hoped yet again and reached out
Please help me my heart cried
My soul screeched
All she says is
it gets better

Please I cried silently
it gets better

I scremed shouted lashed out
Please let this end
Please just talk to me
Please help me
I screamed to her surpise
stop it it gets better

I let it all out
Everything
All my secrets
All my lies
All my questions
All my anxieties
She talked
And I hope she would finally listen
Finally help
stop pitying yourself *

.........

it gets better


it gets better

*well *******
Lies are all around us as they Lie

I fear the night
For it is to be feared
All my childhood horrors
Seem like a pleasant reprieve
A reprieve from this insanity
From the monsters that attack me
Give me the secrets the lies
I feel it
All of it
And I still care
After years of despair
I still care
They call it a gift but it destroys me

Immer un immer schreine ich
Warum
Warum
Immer und immer weine ich
Warum warum
A small German part of my life

He sat on his chair
In his desk
In a place he called heel

She walked
In a place she hated
She bnamed hell

He sighed
Decided to take a break
And walked through hell towards heaven

She sighed
She was stressing
So she went for a walk to heaven

He sat on a chair
And loathed himself
He loved heaven but was still in hell

She walked into a room
With a man on a chair
She frowned for hell made it all worse

He silently wept
With no tears
He needed respite from hell

she teared
With no tears
She needed respite from hell

He looked into memory
But found nothing
His life was a series of hells

She looked into her mind
But found nothing
Her life was a series of hells

Where
He thought
in despair

Where
She thought
In despair

He looked up
About to scream
And saw her

She looked around
About to cry
And saw him

She was amazing
Beautiful
Captivating

He was amazing
Handsome
Captivating

She smiled
And he cried
Inwardly

He smiled
And she hoped
Inwardly

He looked upon his life
And finally
Took a chance

She looked upon her life
Almost cried
And took a chance

He stood up
Went to her
And said one syllable

She stared
As he walked up
And said one syllable

He despaired
For she didn't say anything
And turned

She grasped
His shoulder with desperation
And begged with her eyes

He turned
And smiled
A true smile

She smiled
A true smile
He caused it

He started a conversation
A conversation
Of a lifetime

She chatted
Without thinking
She just let her toung work

He hoped
Something he never did
Something he liked

She hoped
Not a false hope
A true hope

He left
With her number
And hope in his heart

She left
With hope and fear
Would he call her

He lay down
But didn't sleep
He thought

She lay down
But didn't sleep
She thought

He smiled
A true smile
A Happy smile

She smiled
A true smile
A Happy smile

He slept
Like never before
For he had never truly slept

She slept
Like never before
For she always dreamed

He woke up
And smiled
He had slept

She woke up
And smiled
She hadn't dreamed

He called her
And made something
Love

She answered
And felt something
Love

                             TRUE LOVE
                        SUCH AS NEVER FELT
                 YET IT WAS REAL FOR THEY FELT IT
          AND FEELINGS ARE TO BE TRUSTED? ????

They laughed
They were not he cand she
They were they
Sometimes you have to take a chance and trust untrustworthy feelings

hello
Said a broken voice
She wanted love
She wanted someone

hello is somoene there?
Said a scarred soul
Why did it happen
Why is she scarred

please help me
Whispered a tormented voice
To a hidden saviour
That would never help her

please
Said a broken soul
A soul broken
By broken promises

just leave me alone
Said a condemned voice
To the monsters in her head
Her broken head

..........
She said nothing
For nothing was left to say
Except

GOODBYE

my thoughts
my infinity thoughts
grasp
grasp at my soul
and tear it apart

my thoughts
my infinity toughts
wrench
wrench at my soul
and tear it apart

my thoughts
my infinity thoughts
tear
tear at my soul
and destroy me

my thoughts
my infinity thoughts
grasp my soul
and tear it away from sanity
Sometimes people get so worked up in their own thoughts that they over think things and condemn their sanity to hell
